Only You
CCBC Review:
The love of a parent for a child is expressed in a lyrical picture grounded in child–friendly details. “I love each hop, each spin, each shout. I love you from the inside out! . . . I love your laugh, your frown, your grin. I love you from the outside in!” The narrative’s soothing cadence affirms a sense of warmth and security that has, as its focus, the baby or young child listening to the words. Margaret Chodos-Irvine’s bold, colorful illustrations show three diverse parent-child pairs whose skin tones range from light to deep brown. Highly Commended, 2008 Charlotte Zolotow Award ©2008 Cooperative Children's Book Center
