Reach for this book when your child is having a rough day, feeling insecure after a tantrum, or simply needs a reminder that your love is not tied to their behavior. It is a gentle but powerful tool for reinforcing the concept of unconditional love during both the highs and lows of childhood. Todd Parr uses his signature bold, rainbow-colored illustrations to show children that they are loved when they are silly, when they are brave, and even when they are stinky or grumpy. This book is a perfect fit for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 0-5) because it uses simple, repetitive phrasing that builds a sense of security. It normalizes the full spectrum of human emotion, teaching children that feelings like sadness or anger don't change their worth. Parents will appreciate how it opens the door to affectionate moments while providing a low-pressure way to talk about big feelings and self-acceptance.
