About the Book-I Love You the Purplest by Barbara M. Joosse

Early in the evening two young brothers and their mama finish supper in the sturdy red cabin and set out to fish. While digging for worms, rowing the boat and pulling in fish, each brother asks his mama which one is the best at each task and, as they are being tucked into bed, which one she loves the best.

Barbara Joosse’s heartwarming text is beautifully complimented by Mary Whyte’s engaging watercolor illustrations. Readers will delight in the tender message that every child holds a special place in a parent’s heart.

What this book teaches-Love

My review of the book: 

This story talks about love. A mother with multiple children who takes care to make sure they all feel special and loved. I can connect to this story because I have three children and I am careful to make sure they are all loved for who they are and that there aren’t any favorites.
