Description

How far do you love me?
I love you to the top of the peaks
lit by the morning sun …
To the crests of the desert
where the wind sweeps sand from the dunes …

Based on a bedtime game that author-illustrator Lulu Delacre played with her young daughters, How Far Do You Love Me? is an “I love you” book with a twist. With every expression of love, readers visit a different location around the world, each a beautifully illustrated scene of caregivers and children in a place of natural beauty.

The intimate size of the book is just right for sharing and snuggling up close with a child. As bedtime–or any quiet time–approaches, gather close with a special person in your life and get ready to let your imagination soar to place after place as you embark on a game of “How far do you love me?” The possibilities are endless!
