SynopsisThis imaginative and heartwarming ode celebrates a parent's affection for a child. The free lines and warm, soft colors of Hall's illustrations bring to life North's rhythmic and lively text, resulting in a heartfelt testament to the boundless love of a parent. Full color., An imaginative and heartwarming ode that celebrates a parent's affection for a child If I were a skywriter, I'd write your name up high In sparkling golden loop-the-loops across a summer sky. To what heights will a mom or dad go to celebrate their love for a son or daughter? Will they climb Mount Everest? Will they write a hit song? From making pizza as a chef and blasting off as an astronaut visiting Mars, to gathering gemstones as a geologist and granting wishes as a genie, a parent's fanciful desires for his or her child come true as the child discovers each wonder while mom lovingly looks on. This book is a great read aloud at storytime to subtly introduce careers, soothing as a bedtime book or lullaby, and an ideal gift for new mothers and for Mother's Day and Father's Day. The dynamic first-time author and illustrator team treats parents and children to a story that celebrates affection with imagination. The free lines and warm, soft colors of Marcellus Hall's illustrations bring to life Sherry North's rhythmic and lively text, resulting in a heartfelt testament to the boundless love of a parent. Praise for Because You Are My Baby "Around this time of year, in anticipation of Mother's Day, the shelves are flooded with sentimental books about how much mothers love their children. That's not a bad thing; it's certainly something to be celebrated. But when a book comes along that portrays this powerful love in a fresh and spirited way, that's truly cause for celebration. The fantasies are clever and the bold watercolor illustrations of the intrepid duo are delightfully retro." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Hall makes an impressive picture book debut. Hall's radiant, double-page watercolors showcase his gifts for dramatic sweep and comic telling detail." -- Publishers Weekly "An energetic and inspiring testament to motherhood." -- Kirkus Reviews "Rhythms reminiscent of those in Margaret Wise Brown's Runaway Bunny ." -- Booklist
