children's reading corner


It's been several months since I have written a rec! Here is one you will love called You Are My I Love You by Maryann Cusimano. I first bought this book when I was in Florida, visiting my folks and 5 months pregnant. The illustrations are beautiful and conjure such delightful feelings of playfulness, love, and security. The text describes the parent/child relationship in sweet ways such as, "I am your quiet place, you are my wild," and "I am your London Bridge, you are my falling down." I have often found this book at Marshall's for around $6, as opposed to the retail price of a typical hardback children's book. I love to give this book to new moms! I think you all will enjoy it, regardless of your child's age.
