Excerpt: 

I love every smile, every blink. I love you by heart.

Peter H. Reynolds’ cute story about unconditional love manages to capture the beauty and spirit of loving another no matter what the mood or situation. The delightful illustrations featuring two anthropomorphic “valentine” hearts, one an adult and the other a child, accompany the story of few words and assists in setting the mood of this story about love and acceptance. Children will delight in the colourful images and loving words, and adults will take pleasure in this simple yet effective story sharing love. Love You By Heart would make a great baby shower or grandparent gift.
