Experience the bestseller that has sparked the conversation of love around the world!
Too often love is assumed and not spoken. Love should be seen, heard, felt, sensed, shown, expressed, talked about—and more! Reading I Love You More will become a game, a conversation of love, that people, especially parents and
children, can share for years.
This cleverly conceived flip story, which ends in the middle and starts from either side, will show you what love looks like from both a child's and a parent’s perspective. With a
simple, touching story, rhyme and rhythm and vibrant child-like illustrations, this book will be treasured by anyone who has ever said “I love you” and heard the best response in the world: “I LOVE YOU MORE.”
