Through life's journey, a parent's love and guidance will always lie within his/her child. There is nothing as unending or unconditional as a parent's love. This story sails straight to the heart of every mother and father.

Realisticly and playfully illustrated book with imaginative exploration of main character playing with animals all around the world with being loved as the central theme. Explores the human experience throughout the world interconnected with many other creatures. Author lives in Portland Oregon.

Another wonderful Nancy Tillman book celebrating the love for a special child! Very heart-warming!!

I thought this was the sweetest book. It would be great for children learning to read with the easy flow with rhythm and rhyming. It is about the love a parent for their child. No matter where life takes her she will always be loved.

Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You, in my opinion, is a wonderful children’s book. The writing, language usage, as well as the illustrations that are portrayed, all allow this book to send a clear, vivid message of a parents unconditional love she/he will always have for their child(ren).

Next, the illustrations! On each page of this children’s book there pictures to go along with the text. Furthermore, the illustrations are geared to intrigue an infant audience, thus the pictures are soft looking; the colors are very contrasting; and once again depict the notion of love. For example, on one specific page the text writes, “paint ‘til you’re blue…There’s no place, not one, that my love can’t find you,” and the illustration shown is a person painting a beautiful peacock blue, while there are also beautifully painted red flowers dispersed at the bottom of the picture. Each illustration really is lovely!

writing in the story is, nonetheless, for a young child to become engaged in. Nancy Tillman’s language choice is extremely descriptive, as it sends a clear theme of love. For example, “In the green of the grass…in the smell of the sea…in the clouds floating by…at the top of the tree…in the sound crickets make at the end of the day… ‘You are loved. You are loved. You are loved,’ they all say.” Within this quote, you could close your eyes and just imagine the scenery. With that being said, I appreciate the vivid writing and language choice because I know when reading this story to my sisters at bed time they are able to close their eyes and imagine that wherever they are, whatever they see, “They are loved.”Next, the illustrations!

I read this to my five year old grandkids. I liked this book and they did too! It is a really good way to explain boundless love. Definitely recommend!

I read this book to my friend’s four year old daughter as well and she was very engaged, asking lots of questions about the character and counting the stars on the pages and how many animals she could see. Beautiful illustrations as well.

Her illustrations are breathtakingly beautiful and match the text perfectly.
This is a lovely book to give as a gift. The text I quote, and the images copied, cannot actually create the same feeling as if turning the page and savoring the images and matching words.
The text includes sentences of
The love felt is high as wished for, and never to be out grown.
Whether climbing a mountain, or up, up to the sky, the love can fly.
Making a splash, or going out on a limb, love will be found and it can swim.
Love never gets old, never fades, and never ends.
If working, jumping, playing, sitting by friends, dancing till your dizzy, or painted till blue, there is no one place that love will not be found.
"And, if someday you're lonely,
or someday you're sad,
or you strike out at baseball or
think you've been bad
Just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair, there is the person who loves you, my sweet baby, my love is right there!!"
My favorite part of this beautiful book is:
"In the green of the grass, in the swell of the sea, in the clouds floating by, at the top of a tree, in the sound crickets make at the end of the day.. you are loved" they all say.
"Love is so high, and deep and always right there, even when you are asleep.!"
The ending statement written by this amazing author is:
"If you're still my small babe
or you're all the way grown,
my promise to you is you're never alone!"
