The all-time classic, bestselling ode to the love shared between parent and child. Perfect for new parents, baby showers, christenings, and sharing at bedtime.

I am your parent; you are my child.
I am your quiet place; you are my wild.

I am your favorite book; you are my new lines.
I am your nightlight; you are my starshine.

A day in the life of parent and child--full of smiles and giggles, messes and meals, boundless energy and well-earned rest. Not to mention lots of love. Here, in simple rhyming verse, is one such day. Share it with others and treasure the memories.

Maryann Cusimano has been working with children since she was a teen–as a clown, story-teller, singer, puppeteer, and caregiver. You Are My I Love You arose out of her work with children, especially the PeaceKids group in the Sursum Corda housing project. Maryann lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, Rich Love. She is an associate professor of international politics at Catholic University.

"The rhythmic and lyrical text of this beautifully illustrated picture book explores the special connections between a parent and child...The joy and movement of running, spinning, splashing, and hugging are all captured in a warm and lighthearted manner.  An appealing choice for bedtime sharing." -School Library Journal
