Why Do You Love Me?

Reach for this book when your child expresses worry that their mistakes, messy rooms, or bad moods might make them less lovable. It is the perfect choice for the 'sensitive' child who carries a heavy burden of guilt after being disciplined or for a little one who needs reassurance that your bond is unbreakable regardless of their behavior. The story follows a father and son on a simple evening walk with their dog. As they walk, the boy asks a series of 'what if' questions, wondering if his father would still love him if he were naughty, messy, or grumpy. Through gentle, honest dialogue, the father affirms that while he might not like certain actions, his love for his son is constant and unconditional. It provides a beautiful framework for separating a child's identity from their behavior, making it a soothing bedtime read for children ages 3 to 6.
