A lyrical and heartfelt tribute from a parent to their "everything," their child.

Following a parent and child elephant on their annual migration to join the herd, this sweet story celebrates all of the ways in which a child is "everything" to their parent, their family, and their community. The pair set off together in the early morning and experience the warm, golden sun, the cool, refreshing water, and finally the cheerful sounds of the rest of the herd when they all join up. As beautiful as early morning sunshine and as warm as a tender trunk embrace, this book is the perfect way for parents and families to say "I love you" to their special little one.

Oh, this book! As someone who has two little kids, "You Are My Everything" struck a profound chord with me. The sentimental story combined with all the new mom hormones had me tearing up reading this to my baby. The tender story of two elephants embarking on their migration journey captures the essence of unconditional love and the unbreakable bond between generations.
The realistic, emotionally resonant illustrations immerse readers in the majesty of the natural world while also conveying the intimate moments between the two elephants. The poetic language is both simple and deeply affecting, perfectly capturing the timeless feeling of a child being "the heartbeat of this family."
What I appreciate most is how the book leaves the specific relationship undefined, allowing readers to see their own family dynamics reflected in the story. Whether gifting this for a special occasion or simply sharing it as part of your home library, "You Are My Everything" celebrates the magic of family in a way that feels universally comforting and uplifting. It's the kind of book that will become a cherished part of your child's formative years.
