Happy Thursday Everyone!!

We are sunny and cold today and the snow was pretty but I believe it will all be gone by tomorrow.  We will have weather in the 50's tomorrow.  I am happy about that.

It is 9 days till Valentine's Day now.  I made valentines yesterday for the Children's hospital in our city.  I will send them out tomorrow.  I loved making them and I hope the children will enjoy them.  It would be a great project for a classroom to do or an at home project.  My students and I used to do it when I was teaching.  They loved making valentines and so do I.

Today I have a wonderful book to share with you and I hope you will share it with a child in the next few days.

I Love You More

by

I Love You More is a children's picture book that generates the conversation of Love.  The story of I Love You More is expressed through a conversation between a mother and her son but could be applied to all relationships. It is a great book to share with a child. The book starts with a little boy walking outdoors with his mother one day.  He asks her the question,"Mommy, just how much do you love me?"  His mother smiles and says, "I love you higher than the highest bird ever flew, I love you taller than the highest tree ever grew, I love you longer than the longest path ever wound."  She continues with several more illustrations of her love for her son. When she finishes her son wraps his arms around her and says, "know what mommy?.... I Love You More!!!" Then the book  flips and the mommy asks the little boy the same question, "So how much do you love me?  The little boy replies, "I love you quieter than the quietest caterpillar ever creeped." The boy continues to give  examples until the end when his Mommy says, " I love you more."

What a wonderful  book with great illustrations that children will absolutely love.  Please check it out at your local library and share it with a child you love this Valentine's season.

Happy Reading!!! See you soon!!
