Now available in a padded, paper-over-board book, I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU celebrates a parent's unconditional love for a child, as illustrated by award-winning artist David McPhail.

This book has quickly become a family favorite--and this new format with padded covers and cardstock pages will become an enduring classic of the genre.As a poem about a mama fox's unconditional love for her cub, this story describes the many moods of all children--from happy to frightened, bashful to silly, and more--and reassures them of parents' abiding affection and approval. Truly remarkable watercolor illustrations from David McPhail, sensitively wrought and never saccharine, are the perfect complement to Liza Baker's rhythmic, rhyming text.
