Review
"The love language in Mamoru Suzuki s You Belong to Meis direct and affecting in this way, and even briefly humorous . . . Moving from the loving individual to the protective group, mongooses and porcupines (and even a Tyrannosaurus rex) vow to provide love and care in this peaceful exercise for children up to the age of 3." Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal"
"Rather than descending into a gooey morass of platitudes, the book begins to feel like an artfully constructed haiku, one that might make some parents choke back a tear or two. Suzuki's thick, soft outlines recall Kevin Henkes'; many spreads appear to eschew black altogether, and all are enticingly smudgy, even the one with a gigantic T. Rex. For young readers, the book is like a bath before bed: soothing, comforting, and warm." --Vicky Smith, Kirkus Reviews
"The concept of the book 'love and care' is something very small kids can understand and relate to, and the absolutely charming and clear illustrations of different animals in muted shades may evoke their curiosity and hold their attention." --Methmini Costa, picksandreadsforkids.com
"I do agree that it would be a great gift to new parents as they will very much identify with all the parental roles taken on by the various animals. A nice addition to a family library." --Carla Johnson-Hicks, carlalovestoread.wordpress.com
