Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling creators author Andrea Beaty and illustrator Vashti Harrison, a sweet and playful bedtime book that reminds young readers just how loved they are
I love you like yellow.
I love you like green.
Like flowery orchid
and sweet tangerine . . .
Love comes in many forms. It can feel tart as lemonade, or sweet as sugar cookies. Slow as a lazy morning, or fast as a relay race. Love is there through it all: the large and small moments, the good times and bad. And at the end of the day, love settles us down to bed with a hug and kiss goodnight.
With charming, rhyming text from bestselling author Andrea Beaty and lush, heartwarming illustrations by bestselling illustrator Vashti Harrison, I Love You Like Yellow celebrates the unconditional love that pulses through life’s profound and everyday moments—and the people who make them so special.
“This bear-hug of a picture book features . . . a true diversity of characters. Harrison brings a vibrant palette, loving care, and a tight focus to these tableaux; viewers are right there with the families, witnessing their moments together.” —The Horn Book Magazine
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Beaty and Harrison pay tribute to unconditional love through seasons, weather, and times of day in this first-person ode. "I love you like yellow./ I love you like green./ Like flowery orchid/ and sweet tangerine," opens the text alongside companionable colored pencil and digital scenes of a child and adult walking in the rain. Other vignettes showcase loving relationships between peers, intergenerational pairs, and groups depicted with varying abilities, body types, and skin tones. Sometimes abstract, Beaty's analogies find a gentle partner in Harrison's narrative illustrations, which offer semi-literal interpretations. Love that's "like crunchy and crispy" is visualized by a trio eating popcorn, while "like stormy" love attends an image of a card game played during an urban rainstorm. As the examples build, a reassuring portrait of togetherness emerges. Ages 4–8.
