The Many Ways To Say I Love You

Children/Young Adult; Poetry; (Market)

This book illustrates how to enjoy the gift of love with friends and family. From a high-five to a belly laugh to time shared in play, kindness and joy are simple pleasures that are found throughout life’s journey. The early reader style poetry shows special moments children share with their loved ones: “When holding hands to cross the road… mom squeezes three times, it is our special code.” The colorful and quirky illustrations make this book enjoyable for babies, toddlers, and adults.
Reviews
An alligator parent and child serve as guides to different ways to demonstrate feelings of love. Kurjan’s verses sometimes read like they’re searching to complete a rhyme (“A wave goodbye.../ A hug hello.../ There are many ways our love can show,” she begins), but their reassuring message comes through. Parker’s blocky digital illustrations include an array of secondary animal characters: an owl hoots at the moon, and a chef pig and beret-wearing hippo provide international perspective (“ ‘Amore’ in Italy.../ ‘Je t’aime’ in France.../ Love can be expressed through dance”). Aside from a potentially offensive reference to “Eskimo kisses” (performed by a pair of polar bears in parkas), it’s a bright, cozy look at verbal and nonverbal expressions of affection. Up to age 3.

Sweet and touching board book. Love the "squeeze of the hand" part!

Our family absolutely loves "The Many Ways to Say I Love You". The book is full of bright colors and the characters are darling. My 7 year old son and I squeeze each other's hand 3 times when we want to tell each other I Love You. It truly has become our "secret code". My boys range in age from 7-1 and they all LOVE this children's series. Perfect for all ages!

What a cute book! A great short read! Have not seen this book around. The author is a great small writer from Michigan. I met her at a book signing and bought the book. It has become out go to book before naps. Very colorful and grabs my kids attention. Absolutely love it!  

This book is fantastic! It's a perfect book to help my son Trey not only feel love from others (including us his parents) but also show love to others too. It's also a great book to help children learn to read. I highly recommend this book for all your kids and the other books Kristy has written as well. They're all wonderful...:)

Today I’d like to slip into Mommy-Mode a bit, and tell you about an absolutely darling board book that I recently received for review. The book was created by the very talented (and award winning) children’s author Kristy Kurjan and illustrator Tyler Parker. It is sweet, charming, and delightfully colorful. Through easy-to-follow rhymes, the book offers parents lovely ways to connect with their little one and talk about the expression of love. So grab a tiny wee person in your life, snuggle them in tight, and prepare to giggle and smile right along with them!
