I’m Always Loving You

Kathy Wolff, illus. by Acamy Schleikorn. Bloomsbury, $18.99 (32p) ISBN 978-1-5476-1420-2

A bevy of adult caretakers characterize the unconditional love they feel for children in their lives throughout this sunny picture book. Wolff’s warm rhyming stanzas (“I love you when the answer’s yes,// and also when it’s no...// ...when we’re sitting sorta quiet/ or we need to go-go-go!”) and Schleikorn’s cheery digital illustrations capture tender, relatable moments within the daily routines of families of varied skin tones and configurations. Whether it’s dancing together or dealing with disappointment, the children and adults are all buoyed by their solid bond. A family rushing out the door, with kids in tow and tote bags aplenty, is among the spot-on scenes across this steadying message of everlasting adoration. Ages 3–6. (Dec.)
