This book of quilt-illustrated love poems was co-written by a mother and her daughter, who contributed each 'I love you' sentence when she was 3-6 years old. These words of feeling linked to concepts she was exploring and mastering while she oriented herself in the universe. The parent-authored parts draw from the big and small worlds they joyfully investigated together. In this book about boundlessness, the authors and illustrator quietly celebrate girls as scientists and boundary breakers, and all people and animals connected by the fundamental force of love
