I Love You to the Moon and Back by Amelia Hepworth, illustrated by Tim Warnes

Newborn-2 years
I received an incredible library of books for my babies during baby showers. Many of the books focused on the mother/child relationship and, while I cherished reading them to my boys, I felt badly for their dad who did not have as many options to choose from in the “I love you” book department. I put on my librarian hat and searched for titles that he could enjoy with our children and found that they do exist, just in smaller supply. I Love You to the Moon and Back is a story that any caregiver can see themselves within. The bear characters and I/You/Our language makes no reference to a particular gender or origin. The sweet feelings behind the words are universal. It is a wonderful celebration of the love between a child and the adult who cares for them. Snuggle up with the little one in your life and watch this story time today!
This book was purchased for our pediatric patients with monetary donations from wonderful supporters like you.
