10 Things I Love About You!

How does a child love a parent? This sunny touch-and-feel board book follows one kid who counts the ways. Via rhyming stanzas, a light-brown-skinned child sporting curly pigtails tells their parent the reasons why “I love you bigger than the world.” Coming in at number two, “I love that you know all the games!/ What will we do today?/ I’ll dress up as a doctor/ and make boo-boos go away,” as Habib’s cheerful, gently rounded artwork shows the pair playing dress up and giving some stuffies a proper checkup. And reason number four, “I love the way you’re there for me;/ you never let me down,” accompanies a scene of the on-the-spot parent applying a bandage after a scooter dustup. A tender and joy-filled volume that provides affirmations around parental care. Ages 2–5. (Nov.)
