Description: A heartfelt celebration of parental love and the beauty of nature.
How much does Mom love her little Rae? More than seal pups and penguins love their icy home, more than dolphins love the boundless sea, or lions love to race and roar, more even than all the stars, the moon and the sun combined. In fact, she loves her more than words can even say . . . A beautiful, lyrical story which reassures children that the love between a parent and child is unconditional and everlasting, whilst encouraging them to explore and discover, to change and grow. Perfect for fans of Giles Andreae and Emma Dodd and picture books Guess How Much I Love You? by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram and No Matter What by Debi Gliori. Written by Clare Helen Welsh, author of All the Animals Were Sleeping and Time to Move South for Winter, with stylish, retro artwork from Kevin and Kristen HowdeshellReview Quotes: A mother reassures her child of the depths of her love in this stunning picture book that will fast become a bedtime ritual. "I love you like the mighty eagle loves to soar" and "like wolf cubs love to laze" are among the nature comparisons, illustrated with brilliant colors and dynamic textures that capture an orange sun setting over the savanna, a waterfall cascading through a jungle, and the star-splattered reaches of space before returning to the child's bedroom for a kiss goodnight.
