About this book

A magical tale of parental love that every parent will want to share with their little one!

In the very first moment, when you came to be,

I looked at you, and you looked at me.

I whispered these words as I held you near, for all time, for all space, for the world to hear.

I will love you.

Capucilli’s text is lyrical, touching, and makes for a great read-aloud, while illustrator Lisa Anchin brings this story to life through magical, detailed landscapes and precious mother/daughter moments. Every parent wants to reassure their kids that they will always be loved. Like Nancy Tillman’s On the Night You Were Born, this book is sure to become a tried-and-true bedtime story.
