Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS?dePaola's familiar, charming illustrations of chubby, round-faced children carry this book, which teaches an appreciation for the natural world. The text is the epitomy of simplicity. Each page proclaims affection for some element of nature?"I love you, flower," "I love you, stars," etc.?ending with "And you love me." The bright artwork populated by multiethnic youngsters conveys the environmental message.?Emily Kutler, Summit Free Public Library, NJ

About the Author

Tomie dePaola was born in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1934 to a family of Irish and Italian background. By the time he could hold a pencil, he knew what his life's work would be. His determination to create books for children led to a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and an MFA from the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland, California.

It drove him through the years of teaching, designing greeting cards and stage sets, and painting church murals until 1965, when he illustrated his first children's book, Sound, by Lisa Miller for Coward-McCann. Eventually, freed of other obligations, he plunged full time into both writing and illustrating children's books.

He names Fra Angelico and Giotto, Georges Rouault, and Ben Shahn as major influences on his work, but he soon found his own unique style. His particular way with color, line, detail, and design have earned him many of the most prestigious awards in his field, among them a Caldecott Honor Award for Strega Nona, the Smithsonian Medal from the Smithsonian Institution, the Kerlan Award from the University of Minnesota for his "singular attainment in children's literature," the Catholic Library Association's Regina Medal for his "continued distinguished contribution," and the University of Southern Mississippi Medallion. He was also the 1990 United States nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for illustration.

Tomie dePaola has published almost 200 children's books in fifteen different countries. He remains one of the most popular creators of books for children, receiving more than 100,000 fan letters each year.

Tomie lives in an interesting house in New Hampshire with his four dogs. His studio is in a large renovated 200-year-old barn.

- He has been published for over 30 years.
- Over 5 million copies of his books have sold worldwide.
- His books have been published in over 15 different countries.
- He receives nearly 100,000 fan letters each year.

Tomie dePaola has received virtually every significant recognition forhis books in the children's book world, including:

- Caldecott Honor Award from American Library Association
- Newbery Honor Award from American Library Association
- Smithson Medal from Smithsonian Institution
- USA nominee in illustration for Hans Christian Andersen Medal
- Regina Medal from Catholic Library Association

5.0 out of 5 stars Great presentation for gift
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2014

I wasn't sure when I ordered this if the book were rectangular (with an image of a heart on a white background), or if the book were actually cut in the shape of a heart. I was hoping for the latter, and it was! It's over-sized for a board book, and the unusual shape makes it very special. The text is very simple. Each page shows a child in an outdoor setting telling something he/she loves it. "I love you, sun" for example. In turn, each different child loves a sun, a sheep, the wind, a tree, a bird, a fish, a flower, a rabbit, a rock, a bug,stars, water, a wolf, the moon, and the earth. The cast of children is ethnically diverse. I love love love Tomie dePaola's illustrations. (Growing up with the Christmas tale "Old Befana") was my first introduction to his art.) These illustrations have both the vivid and saturated color that make them look modern, while also conjuring up a sense of a bygone era from traditional folklore. I think the illustrations would be appealing to children. I also bought the English and Spanish version, which is much smaller (5 1/4 by 5 3/4 inches) and rectangular.

5.0 out of 5 stars very sweet and teaches to love our earth
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2014

This starts out with "I love you sun " and includes I love you water, rock, bug, wolf, and other things found in our natural world. It finishes with "I love you earth and you love me." Exactly the message I was looking for.
Update: I bought this book for my LO when she was an infant. She is now almost 2 and still enjoys it. However, it is no longer one of the books she demands to read (even though in general ANY book with the moon in it is a hit). I think she is starting to outgrow board books as she's now into Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, and the complete Night Before Christmas. So, I think the suggested age range of 3-5 years is WAY off. I would say this is for babies/young toddlers.
I would like to find a book with a similar message for her level, would appreciate any suggestions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Toddlers Learning Sign Language
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2020
Verified Purchase
Simple sweet book for toddlers. Kids say that they love the sun, moon, flowers, rocks, birds, and other things in their natural environment. It’s perfect for pairing with ASL signs since it’s repetitive and covers many of the words that toddlers want to know in order to talk about what they’re seeing in the neighborhood.

5.0 out of 5 stars ADORABLE toddler/baby book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2008

This book is so simple and cute, and the illustrations are so child friendly, your little one will love it, as my 20-month old does! There is a short sentence and picture on each page. For example: "I love you sun." and "I love you fish." Can't say enough about the great illustrations - colors are vibrant, images appear so simple, but so beautiful! It is so Tomie!

Intended to go along with a baby gift. Bright, colorful, and well made. Simple words, but they make sense and don't wander off into strange territory.
