3. Review: I Love You Because You're You

I Love You Because You're You
by Liza Baker
illustrated by David McPhail

We have a well-loved, handed-down copy of this picture book. I noticed it's available as a bargain board book now - which I think is actually perfect for this cozy title. With Valentine's Day upon us, this is a sweet book to read while cuddling. The text is simple, and really does convey all the moods (good and bad) of a preschooler, all while proving to the little readers that we really do love them no matter what. That's an important message at an age where emotions run wide and wild.
