Why we love The I LOVE YOU book by Todd Parr

Todd Parr creates colourful books with simple messages that really resonate for families. His books are all designed to be supportive and uplifting, and to help our toddlers understand the love that’s around them.  

The I LOVE YOU book is, as you might expect from the title, all about how very much parents love their children. It reinforces the message for your toddler that, no matter what, they are loved. 

As you read each page you’ll recognise some of the moments being shown; “I love you when you hide my keys”, “I love you when you are silly”, “I love you when we are cuddled up close” and even “I love you when you don’t sleep.” 

Reading Todd Parr’s affirmations of the love you share can help your toddler understand that love is always around them, even when things feel hard.  

We know that we still love our toddler, even in the moments that feel stressful, but sometimes we can forget to really make sure they know that when we’re dealing with feelings at the time. Curling up together and sharing this book will reassure your toddler that the love is still there, and still just as strong. 

The last page contains an especially important message – to remember to always love yourself as well.
