A few weeks ago I received some copies of a book called I Love You More, written by Laura Duksta and illustrated by Karen Keesler. Alex and I had actually seen the book in Barnes & Noble the week before, and the cover illustration was so charming that I immediately knew I wanted to read it.
And can I just say? This book is delightful.
I Love You More is the story of a mama and her son (everybody say it with me: “AWWWWW”) who take turns explaining how much they love each other. Half of the book is told from the mama’s perspective, and the other half is from the son’s perspective. What Alex loves the most is that when we finish reading the mama’s story we get to FLIP THE BOOK UPSIDE DOWN to read the little boy’s story, and OH, MY CHILD’S JOY KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
Honestly, it’s hard to read this book to your child without getting a little weepy, but that is okay because your child will be snuggled so tightly next to you as you’re reading that it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy as you cry. So it will be a tender time.
I have three copies to give away, and if you’d like to put your name in the hat just leave a comment and tell me so. I’ll close comments this Friday, November 30, and then I’ll pick the winners using – you guessed it – the trusty random number generator.
This is a good ‘un, y’all, and I think you’ll enjoy it a whole bunch!

“I Love You More” is what my youngest daughter and I say to each other at bed time each and every night! How perfect would this book be for a gift for her?!

I was just talking with a friend the other day about how we say to our husbands, “I love you more…” And then they say back to us..”No, I love YOU more!” So…what better thing to say to our beautiful children too! I have 3 girls and I know they would love this!
Would love it!

My youngest says this to us all THE time! Plus he adds something to it.
He says “I love you more and that’s final, you can’t take it back!”
Boys are so precious. I’m sure girls are too but I don’t have any. :)
Oh…I WANT IT!!!
I’d love a copy of this book!
Looks like a precious book to read, re-read, re-read, re-read, and re-read at bedtime. That is what we do with 4 year olds. We read the same sweet books over, and over, and over again and I love it, I really do.
