Warm like tea? Sweeter than red dates? A mother shares her love for her child as the two prepare a delicious meal together--perfect for fans of Guess How Much I Love You, Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You, and Mama, Do You Love Me?

What is love? a child wonders. What does it feel like, smell like, taste like? How does it move? How long does it last?

And as she prepares a traditional Chinese meal for her family, the child's mother replies: her love for him is rosy as wolfberries, warm like tea, sweeter than the red dates she puts in his soup. It shines through the water like its own brilliant sun. It goes round and round with no beginning and no end. Because a mother's love for a child is always there, warm and soft, broad and tender.

In this tender story that pairs beautifully poetic words with brilliantly stunning art, a mother's love comes alive on the page and wraps readers in its warm embrace.

Praise for My Love for You Is Always:

* "This perfect marriage of illustrations and lyrical writing celebrates the affection that’s expressed through a lovingly cooked meal. . . . This lovefest is a feast for all the senses." --Kirkus Reviews, *STARRED REVIEW*
* "Warm, wonderful . . . From start to finish, it's a charming and delicious tale." --BookPage, *STARRED REVIEW*

"In the vein of such familiar titles as Guess How Much I Love You and Mama, Do You Love Me? Sze creates a warm, tender look at love [and] a timeless tale of a mother’s infinite love . . . Asian ­culture and food references add a layer of depth to this story, providing a fresh version of a time-honored conversation." --School Library Journal

"As satisfying as a gentle hug—or a tasty dumpling." --Booklist

This book helps young children understand the idea of love, through metaphors using a mother's cooking. Some of the words are fun to say. The illustrations are simple yet very complex, which makes re-reading it enjoyable because there is always something new you can pick up on another read. I liked how it was Asian themed as well. Although one does not need to be Asian to enjoy the book.
