About This Book
Reach for this book when your child needs the reassurance of hearing the words I love you expressed directly and out loud. While many parents show love through actions, children often crave the verbal confirmation that anchors their world. This story follows a mother and daughter on a blustery autumn walk where the little girl repeatedly asks her mother to say it. Through poetic language and vibrant autumn scenery, the mother describes the beauty of the world around them until she finally gives the specific verbal affirmation her daughter is waiting for. It is a gentle, sensory-rich experience perfect for toddlers and early elementary children. This book serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of words in building a child's emotional security and the joy of shared quiet moments in nature.
