Target Audience: Newborn to Grandparents, all ages
Setting: The examples take place in nature. You are taken through a journey with what you can consider the young animal and the older animal.
Characters: Some of the animals that you see are the bears, the dogs, the dinosaurs, the kangaroos, koalas, owls, lions, and rabbits.
Illustrations: The illustrations are captivating and colorful.
This book shows how unconditional love is evoked. You can see in the illustrations how the older animal can be considered the grandparent and accepts the smaller animal just the way it is. The strength is that the animals considered the grandpa or grandma help their grandchild animal through their journey in life and at the same time allows their grandchild to be who they are. They are accepting of their grandchild. For example, if their grandchild is happy, naughty, excited, and bothered. Their grandparent is showing them that they love them unconditionally and will always be by their side regardless of how they feel and they will support them. It is a great book because children or young adults can relate to the emotions that are being portrayed in the book. From the beginning to the end of the book you can see how the grandparent is always by their side. This book is great for children to understand the different emotions that the author is delivering in the book. At the end you will see if you get the book how the author shows what unconditional love looks like. The weakness is that you only see one grandparent and you do not see two. You are not able to distinguish if it is a grandma or grandpa. Overall, I would recommend purchasing this book because it is a great lesson for everyone even adults to understand the power that unconditional love has in an young child’s life.
