A debut children's book by reggae icon Ziggy Marley with illustrations
by Ag Jatkowska.
A beautifully illustrated, multicultural children's picture book based
on one of Ziggy Marley's most beloved songs, I Love You Too. The book
explores a child's relationship with parents, nature, and the
unstoppable force of love. This is Ziggy's first book, though his foray
into children's music is extensive and very well known. He is the singer
of Believe in Yourself, the popular theme song of the hit TV show,
Arthur.
Marley has been a long-time fixture in the children's entertainment
arena. In 2004, he played the role of Ernie, the mischievous jellyfish
in the Dreamworks animated smash, Shark Tale, and has made appearances
on multiple family and children's shows including Sesame Street, Dora
the Explorer, the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and A Family Is
a Family Is a Family: A Rosie O'Donnell Celebration on HBO. In 2009,
Ziggy, along with his wife, children, and mother Rita Marley, joined
President Barack Obama for the 131st annual White House Easter Egg Roll
celebration. More recently, he has crafted the theme song for HBO's
Saving My Tomorrow, is featured in the GRAMMY Museum / Cal Science
Center's Exhibit Saving the Earth with Music and lent his voice to the
PupStar franchise. Marley is also an honorary member of the board of
directors for Little Kids Rock, an organization that provides free
musical instruments and free lessons to children in public schools
throughout the United States.
From the introduction to I Love You Too by Ziggy Marley:
One day I was in my kitchen making breakfast with my then three-year-old
daughter Judah. She looked at me and said, 'I love you.' I spontaneously
replied to her, 'I love you too.' From that came the song and now the
book based on the lyrics. I hope you share and enjoy this with your
loved ones as I have with mine. I love you too.
