When do I love you, Little One?
Well, there is this little list, you know.
And if you read it, it will show …
As mum helps her child get ready for bed, she shares her list of when she loves her Little One.
As we turn each page she tells us about one thing on her list. She says, of course, I love you when you are dancing, or even when you’re sad, cranky or glad. It’s when you’re muddy, or brave, shy, silly or crying.
It seems our list is very long. Maybe it’s never ending …
This is simply a lovely book showing us that love is unconditional. The illustrations are soft, warm, happy feeling. You will be loved when things are good or not so good.
A great book for the very young but it would also make a lovely gift.
Have a look for her previous book, You’ve Got Yoghurt In Your Nostrils. Also highly recommended.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Bethany Clark is a writer and editor who after many years working behind the scenes in the publishing industry found herself as the chief manager of snacks for a small child.
Her debut children’s picture book, You’ve Got Yoghurt In Your Nostrils is a joyous celebration of the glorious mess babies create when they learn to eat, and her second picture book Little Love List shines a light on the unconditional love we have for our children, no matter how fun or tricky they can be.
She lives in Adelaide with her husband and son, where she can still be found creating books in between catering continuous picnics and endless degustation menus for a myriad of small folk.
ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR
Summer Macon was raised in an itty bitty town.
As a child, she quickly became known as ‘Tiger’ as this is how she would sign her homework next to the many doodles covering their pages. She has decided to now go by her real name and lives in an even smaller itty bitty town (population 32) in beautiful Colorado.
In the summer time (Summer enjoys the summer and not the winter) you can find her rock climbing, mountain biking or doodling on her contracts.
