Hand-selected by Newbery honoree Ashley Bryan, he has, with his masterful flourish of color, shape, and movement, added a visual layering that drums the most important message of all to young, old, parent, child, grandparent, and friend alike: You are loved. You are loved. You are loved. As a bonus, one page is mirrored, so children reading the book can see exactly who is loved--themselves! Giovanni's poems are given a visual layering by Bryan's illustrations, which drums an important message to young, old, parent, child, grandparent, and friend alike: You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.
