I Love You Sun / I Love You Moon: Te amo Sol / Te amo Luna

by Karen Pandell, Tomie dePaola (Illustrator)

Overview

A charming board book introducing children to basic animal and nature concepts in both English and Spanish, as well as a lesson in gratitude and tenderness, by the Caldecott Honor-winning author of Strega Nona.
 
In this simple yet profound story, kids connect with the world around them by pointing at the sol/sun, watering a flor/flower, and feeding a carrot to a conejo/bunny, all the while saying "Te amo/I love you" to each one—and sharing a message of care for all creation. With artwork in Tomie dePaola’s adorable signature style, this is destined to become a favorite addition to every toddler’s library.

Editorial Reviews

PreS-dePaola's familiar, charming illustrations of chubby, round-faced children carry this book, which teaches an appreciation for the natural world. The text is the epitomy of simplicity. Each page proclaims affection for some element of nature-``I love you, flower,'' ``I love you, stars,'' etc.-ending with ``And you love me.'' The bright artwork populated by multiethnic youngsters conveys the environmental message.-Emily Kutler, Summit Free Public Library, NJ
