    About this ebook

    Celebrated poet Susan Musgrave weaves the purity, strength and sweetness of love with simple joys from nature experienced through the seasons. Marilyn Faucher's vibrant illustrations are a lovely complement to Musgrave's prose, and together these elements introduce babies and toddlers to the delight of cold summer plums, a shower of cherry blossom petals and the endlessness of love. A perfect read-aloud, this poetic board book will foster warmth and closeness with the littlest ones in your life.

      This was a lovely poem that uses metaphor to explain the love one has for another. It’s a lovely poem, I just wished it rhymed. It’s a small thing, but it’s what kept it from a five for this reviewer.
    • 4/5
      This book had beautiful illustrations and a lovely sentiment about how much we love our children/grandchildren. The book compares a parent's love to the wind and to the tastes of various things using the description of strength and sweetness and to how much animals love their babies. The writing is poetic but there are times that it is stilted. The repetition of the wording make it so that the youngest child can soon join in. As a board book this would be a great book for your youngest readers and one they can use to bond with their parents, and grandparents. I read this book to my granddaughter and she loved the pictures, but did not understand the sentiment. It is a board book, but it is really better suited to 4 and 5 year olds. I recommend this to families for their home library or to give as a gift at baby showers or when a new baby is born. The publisher, Orca Book Publishers, generously provided me with a copy of this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions are my own.
