A Springtime Title Full of Loving Reassurance

How Do I Love You?My book How Do I Love You? is full of wonderful illustrations by Caroline Jayne Church. Her images, many featuring the spring season, are all the more appropriate because March 6 was Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s birthday. Browning’s famous poem “How Do I Love Thee?” inspired my text, which I transformed to focus on a parent’s unlimited love for their child. This heartwarming title reassures young listeners just how beloved they are.
