A lyrical, heartfelt picture book celebrating the love between parents and their children.
When a new baby comes into the world, that baby becomes everything cuddly, everything kisses, everything love...everything possible. In other words, everything that matters. And the world is never quite the same again. In Everything You, Elizabeth McPike's simple, poetic text and Jay Fleck's modern graphic and adorable illustrations capture the wonder and love a child brings to our lives.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In appealing child-directed rhymes, McPike (Little Bitty Friends) adopts the voice of a parent celebrating everything that makes a child special: "You're everything fresh,/ the morning's first dew,/ You're everything growing,/ our summertime you." Each couplet rhymes with you, a setup that could turn sentimental, but the book never crosses that line, thanks in large part to the artwork. Fleck (Black Belt Bunny) goes for big contrasts in his high-impact portraits of animal families: three yellow lions march across a dark purple spread, clutching each other's tails, and a mother hen basks in the attention of her many (many) chicks as they chirp hearts at her. A few "mommy" and "daddy" references make the book best suited to households where both are present, but many families should easily be swayed by its charms. Ages 3 6. Illustrator's)
