I Love My Family

Written and Illustrated by Angela M. Smith

An interesting book that explores the reasons why we should love our family and stick together in good and bad times.

The artwork is done by both children and adults. This gives the book a non-professional homespun appeal. It is clear that not all families are alike, and single-family homes are becoming more prevalent.

I enjoyed the author’s blank pages at the end, which allow the reader to draw and express personal feelings about his own family.

Probably best suited for preschool and younger readers.

Forever with You: An Endless Love of Family

Written by Tana Schuler

Illustrated by Soledad Cook- Ordoñez

This beautiful picture book delivers a heartfelt message written from the perspective of a grandmother to her beautiful granddaughter.

The soft pastel illustrations provide the perfect complement to the message. It is a message of love giving the child confidence, strength and resilience. Grandma will be with her through good and bad, happy times and sad times, always supporting her and lifting her up.

This book is particularly useful for families who need to help young children through the grieving process in the loss of a loved one. On the other hand, it portrays a cheerful lesson of how much family members love and support their children.

Recommended for parents, teachers, and counselors of elementary and middle grade children.
