W19 Macm MCPG Complete I Love You for Miles and Miles by Alison Goldberg, illustrated by Mike Yamada Now in accessible board book format, this I-love-you book is perfect for children who love vehicles that dig, carry, and lift. Love can be stronger than the strongest excavator, longer than the longest train, and taller than the tallest crane. With exciting imagery and engaging, lyrical text, Goldberg compares the abilities of vehicles like trains, planes, cars, boats, and construction equipment to the never-ending love a parent has for their child. There's a mix of tenderness and action in nearly every scene, and Yamada sometimes creates space between the two bears in his cheery cartoons, letting the younger one pilot his own helicopter, jet, and tugboat in a way that hints at the push-and-pull between independence and intimacy. The repeating structure and gentle reassurances of Goldberg's verse cast a cozy, restful spell." - Publishers Weekly Author Bio Farrar, Straus and Giroux On Sale: Dec 31/18 Alison Goldberg lives with her family in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
