Review
"An effective and satisfying way of introducing the universal facets and feelings of childhood."--School Library Journal "This will have obvious appeal for populations with large ESLand#160;groups, but it would also make an excellent gift book for your own honey/pumpkin/sunshine/babycakes."--Bulletin "Move over, "sunshine." Ogburn and Raschka give families a whole new vocabulary with which to express their love. ...The message about familial love being a universal human trait is clearly and joyfully articulated; itand#8217;s hard to imagine a sweeter concept." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A colorful catalogue of endearments for children spans the globe and expands awareness by showing how love is universal." --Kirkus "Marvelous illustrations by the Caldecott winner Raschka and an inclusive look at expressions of love from Poland to Uganda.
