My friends…I am the mother of sons.  I am the proud mother of sons and I make sure everyday my sons know how very much they are loved. I have 2 boys, as many of you know, and they are the absolute lights of my life! I live to see my Ryan, who will be 16 in February , and my Evan, who will be 11 in February, laugh and smile. Oh sure, we have our moments, as all Mothers and Sons do, but at the end of the day, as I say ” I love you” and they follow with ” I love you, more, Mom” or they say, “I love you, Mom” and I follow with, “I love you, more! “, all is good in my world… no matter what kind of day it was. I have many, many favorite books that I will share with you but for today… this is it!  This one absolutely captured my heart. This is the MUST!  

I love you brighter than
the brightest star ever shone.
I love you more, so much more
than you’ve ever known.

Were you ever told, “You know I love you?” Or have you ever felt that you did not tell someone you loved them enough? Reach out and embrace I Love You More, a timeless gift you will share again and again. It is the perfect baby gift, graduation gift, holiday gift or simply an I Love You. Order yours today and let’s get 2% to United Cerebral Palsy or the charity of your choice.

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 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.”

My friends, this book is a MUST!  I had tears as I read it to my son…Needless to say, he did, too… and so will you.

Have a wondeful, wonderful  day and remember:  3 little words- one BIG meaning!

You cannot say it to those you love too soon…For you never know how soon it will be too late.
