Our Love Grows

Toddler-PreS—Pip is a young panda who wonders when he will grow bigger and change like the world around him. His mother lovingly explains that in many ways he has already grown and changed just as the trees and flowers have. Even Birdy, his stuffed animal, was once shiny and new. Pip's paw prints used to be much smaller, his special blanket covered all of him, and he used to fit snugly in his mother's arms. She tells him that no matter how big he gets or how he changes, her love for him will grow as well. This is a sweet story for parents to share with their young children. The theme is straightforward and told in rhyme. The book conveys a similar message to Sam McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You, and the engaging artwork greatly enhances and complements the story. The pen and paint illustrations have a soft tone and will give readers a warm feeling.
