I Love You to the Moon was birthed in a mother’s heart as a poetic love story for her son. The author took her story a step further, transforming her feelings into a joyful children’s book.

The text reads like a soothing bedtime lullaby that kids will love to hear over and over. I believe the charm of this book is the simplicity of the message, which can be understood by even the very young. Every child loves to hear he or she is loved “to the moon” by parents and grandparents. The watercolor illustrations are beautiful depictions of familiar things in nature and a mother and child doing fun, everyday activities.

I recommend I Love You to the Moon for babies and toddlers up through early elementary school. The book would make a thoughtful baby gift or birthday present for a toddler or preschooler.

This is my own honest opinion and I received no monetary compensation of any kind for my review.
