Holding you close when you are small . . .'In this warm and cosy book, children grow and families have busy lives, but there is always time and just so many different ways to say 'I love you'.

A book of love to share and treasure.", "This hug of a book is a delight to share.", 2It's a particularly lovely book for families to share, full of scenes and activities that little children will recognise and with so much to look at and discuss.
