Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You




Title: Wherever You Are My Love Will Find 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!
