I'd Know You Anywhere, My Love [Board book]

There are things about you quite unlike any other.
Things always known by your father or mother.
So if you decide to be different one day,
no worries& I'd know you anyway.

InI'd Know You Anywhere, My Love, bestselling author and artist Nancy Tillman has created another heartfelt masterpiece celebrating the joys of imagination, and the comfort of always knowing that you are loved.

She also created the mischievous cat Tumford inTumford the TerribleandTumford's Rude Noises, and illustratedIt's Time to Sleep, My Loveby Eric Metaxas. Nancy lives in Portland, Oregon.
