Winter 2007-2008 Children's Book Sense Picks list!
“A great flip-story book with an appealing message! The colorful pictures are simple but elegant, and the large font is appealing to kids. Parents will enjoy the book's sentiments, and teachers will find it useful in the classroom. A must-have for the holidays, and a great way to say ‘I love you!’” —Diane Van Tassell, Bay Books, San Ramon, CA
iParenting Media Awards 2007 Greatest Product!
“I can just see an adult and a kid giggling away, flipping the book over and taking turns reading to get to the middle and a big fat hug… Sweet, simple examples that a little one with a big heart will understand.” —Alyne Ellis, AARP Radio Network
“A gorgeous and touching combination of heartfelt message, rhyme and rhythm, with childlike illustrations. Its cleverly conceived flip story, which ends in the middle and starts from either side, will show you what love looks like from both a parent and a child's perspective.” —Dann Gershon, The Sarasota Herald-Tribune
“There are many, many books that feature a mother telling her child how much she loves him or her. That’s what happens here, too. But after reading about how much a mother loves her son, children can flip the book over and be treated to the boy addressing the same topic… the boy’s observations have a sweet kid-like quality (‘I love you longer than the longest lollipop ever lasted’), and the artwork has the look of a child’s own brightly colored drawing, with figures slightly out-of-proportion, eyes wide, mouths a slash of a line. Cheeriness is the overarching feeling from the art, as both mother and child stretch to explain how much the other is loved.” —Ilene Cooper, Booklist
“The day we received I Love You More my wife read it over the phone to our youngest child. The conversation of love it sparked was magical.” —Jack Canfield, co-author of Chicken Soup for the Kid’s Soul
“In my entire life I’ve never read a children’s book that has touched me so deeply. I Love You More is simply, elegant and moving. It’s impossible for anyone to read this book without their hearts opening with tears of gratitude and love.” —Dr. John F. Demartini, author of Count Your Blessings, featured in
the movie phenomenon The Secret
“I love this book because it deals with the most powerful thing in the world…love” —Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.
“I Love You More shines as a pure expression of the heart. I wish everyone could ready this book and live its glowing message.” —Alan Cohen, author of A Deep Breath of Life
What parents are saying:
“I love children's books about love, and this one is especially endearing. The most interesting thing about this book is that it is flip-sided. It tells the story of love from two different perspectives… Simply put, it is a sweet and touching story that will grow with your family. A parent's love for her child only grows stronger over time. I have a hunch this is a book we will enjoy together for a long time to come.” — Khatina, www.clubmom.com (110,000 visitors/day)
“This picture book is actually a love story, and my favorite kind. Not the butterflies in the stomach gushing kind, but the serious, indescribable, amazing kind shared between a mother and her son. Curl up on the couch with your little munchkin tight in your arms and enjoy this clever ‘flip’ story together.” —Kathy Davis, www.homeschoolbuzz.com
“I thought I would pass on this book to you as a recommendation, for when we got through it, the kids beaming both said, ‘Again!’ That tells me this one is a keeper. Enjoy!” —MomTeacherFriend, www.momteacherfriend.com
“Wow. This is a great book. Just like that favorite, I Love You Forever, this book will probably make you cry, but not in that somebody-dies-at-the-end way… I'm sure you'll be seeing it in the bookstores soon. Buy it. For yourself and your child or as a gift for another parent and child. It is really wonderful.” —www.suburbanturmoilreviews.com
“I cannot get enough of I Love You More. I actually first saw it under the Christmas tree at The White House during a Christmas party over a year ago. It is, by far, my favorite book to read to my boys. It truly touches my heart every time I read it and wanted to thank you writing and illustrating this book.” —Carly Glazier
“My 5 year old has requested to read this book every night for the past week. She loves the word patterns and Karen Keesler’s beautiful illustrations throughout the book.” —Char, www.raisingahealthyfamily.com
I was truly touched when I read this book to Princess. It was simply written and it's message was one of love that just rang so true for me… After I read the book, I read about the author, Laura Duksta. At the age of 11, she lost all of her hair to a 'disease' called Alopecia Areata. After 19 years of wearing wigs, Laura made a decision to throw a coming out party as ‘The Bald Chick.’ She wrote ‘I Love You More’ as a testament to the power of love.” — Twisted Cinderella, www.tc-twistedfairytale.blogspot.com
