You
Author: Nancy Tillman
Copyright Date: 2010
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends
Possible Theme: Love, Mother’s or Father’s Day
Personal Response: The title says it all. The constant
acknowledgement of being loved is repeated throughout this lovely book. During
Mother’s Day I have the students each read a page out loud for their mothers.
You could tape it and put a video online or put on a reading during Muffin’s
for Moms. Nancy Tillman also did the illustrations, which are fantastical and
whimsical creations. They include dancing bears, giraffes picking apples,
kangaroos on a trampolines, and pandas siting on a park bench. But, the best
part of this book is the constant reassurance it gives children to know they
are loved!
Student Journal Entry: The illustrations in this book are silly and
fun. Draw an illustration like in the book, but use a different animals and
activity. Write another page that could be included in this book.
Activity: On each page there are “magical” glitter like stars that follow the
child. They represent a parent’s love. Make your mom and dad a star shaped
card. Add some glitter around the edges!
