Warm like tea? Sweeter than red dates? A mother shares her love for
her child as the two prepare a delicious meal together--perfect for fans
of Guess How Much I Love You, Wherever You Are My Love Will Find
You, and Mama, Do You Love Me?
What is love? a child wonders. What does it feel like, smell like,
taste like? How does it move? How long does it last?
And as she prepares a traditional Chinese meal for her family, the
child's mother replies: her love for him is rosy as wolfberries, warm
like tea, sweeter than the red dates she puts in his soup. It shines
through the water like its own brilliant sun. It goes round and round
with no beginning and no end. Because a mother's love for a child is
always there, warm and soft, broad and tender.
In this tender story that pairs beautifully poetic words with
brilliantly stunning art, a mother's love comes alive on the page and
wraps readers in its warm embrace.
