Book Description
In this heartwarming picture book, a mom and dad realize how much love their child has brought to their family. I love you more than all the raindrops falling from the sky . . . and all of the puddles we splashed in. I love you more than all the blooming springtime flowers . . . and all the dandelions we made wishes on. Views of love are forever changed with the wonderful addition of a baby to the family. Parents come to realize that their love is boundless and only keeps growing more than they ever thought possible-more than all the raindrops in the sky, more than all the sand on the beach, and more than all the stars in the sky, proving that the love of a parent is unconditional and unparalleled. Parents will love sharing this sweet story with their child!
