"I hide you. / I tease you. / I find you. / I squeeze you." Little ones adore being independent and trying new things. But they also need Mom and Dad's reassurance and snuggles. And when a loving parent is there to provide that support, there's no feeling like it for children.
With her spare, lyrical text, debut author Meg Fleming captures the exuberance, the affection, and the tender push-and-pull of life with a child. Illustrator Sarah Jane Wright's evocative illustrations, full of animal parent-child pairs, celebrate the gentle warmth and love that parents have to offer their children. Sweet, encouraging, and gentle, this tender, rhyming picture book is a lively celebration of love.
"Starting with rabbits on the edge of a forest near a garden, readers follow several animal parents and their young through the forest. Eventually, the book comes back to the garden, where a mother and child have been working all day.... A wonderful choice that will be most appreciated by those looking for a tender family read." — Laura Stanfield, School Library Journal
