About This Book:
An exciting novelty book of love, featuring gender-neutral pronouns throughout, that reveals moving ribbons with each turn of the page–as if by magic.
This cleverly designed board book of the love between parent and child, which features gender-neutral pronouns throughout, reveals a colorful strand of ribbon with each turn of the page, gradually building to become different things: a hot-air balloon, an ice-cream sundae, and even a giant flowerpot filled with beautiful flowers. Children can watch in wonder as the ribbons slowly combine to create a giant heart at the end. With a parent and child pairing and warm, emotional text, this is the perfect book to share that can be read by anyone, to anyone.

sweet board book with a message of love
I LOVE YOU, LITTLE ONE is a sweet board book about love shared between caregiver and child. The story features rhyming text about how much the reader loves the listener, along with images of an adult and baby baby. There are ribbons that appear throughout the book and help form objects on each page spread.
What I loved: This is a really sweet message with rhyming text that rolls off the tongue smoothly. It is fun to read aloud and to listen to. Young ears will appreciate the flow and rhymes. The message is very sweet and one of unconditional love. Without a named caregiver, it will work for a bunch of scenarios for mothers, fathers, grandparents, and so on. The text is from the perspective of reader to listener, and it is very sweet.
The images are colorful and show lots of sweet scenes of big and little bear together that young children will enjoy visually exploring. The ribbons are smartly situated on each page to form part of the images, such as the bowl holding ice cream or the rocket ship. The ribbon is also very solidly attached and moves through the pages well.
Final verdict: I LOVE YOU, LITTLE ONE is a sweet board book with a message of love, perfect for caregivers to share with little readers.
