Here with Me

Description

If you could be a different kind of you, what would you wish to be? A monkey in a tree? Would you be a fluffy fox? A slow-moving sloth? Or maybe, if you had the choice, you wouldn't be different at all . . . because maybe, right here with the ones you love is the best place in the world to be. Written and illustrated in David Walker's beloved adorable style, this story about the everlasting bonds of love is sure to be a modern classic.

David Walker is the illustrator of the If Animals Kissed Good Night series, including If Animals Kissed Good Night, which School Library Journal calls "charming" and which has sold more than a million copies; If Animals Went to School; If Animals Celebrated Christmas; If Animals Gave Thanks; and If Animals Tried to Be Kind. He lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Learn more about him at davidwalkerstudios.com.

"The rhymes are steady and gentle, set against smudgy, dreamlike backdrops in a palette of lush greens and warm, toasty yellows. The rabbit appears envious of others' abilities but always circles back to a connection with family. It's not a tale of self-acceptance or identity but rather unconditional love." --Kirkus
