Two ways to say I love you:
- I HEART YOU by Meg Fleming, illustrated by Sarah Jane Wright (Beach Lane Books, 2016)
A tender ode to all the ways little ones are loved and cherished, sung to and snuggled, adored and embraced. Three-word-lines capture these moments in phrases such as this one, when the mother bird and her baby dip and dive over the meadow: “I sway you. I swing you. I snug you. I sing you.”

- YOU’RE MY BOO by Kate Dopirak, illustrated by Lesley Breen Withrow (Beach Lane Books, 2016)
Honey bun. Sweetie Pie. Many families have silly names for one another. Mother Fox does too! “You’re my peek-a-boo, my sneak-a-boo, my laughing-till-you-squeak-a-boo.” As the young ones play, sometimes nicely, sometimes teasing, Mama’s love is steady and reassuring. Goofy or sweet, naughty or nice, “… no matter what you do … you will always be my boo.”
Enjoy these celebrations of love and share them with those YOU love this season!
