I'll Hold Your Hand

Ages 3 to 6

This sweet picture book debut celebrates the unbreakable bond of a parent's support for a child though life's milestones, from learning to walk to the first day of school.

From the night you arrive to your first night away, from learning to crawl to healing a broken heart, and for all the highs and lows in between . . . through every season, every challenge, and every joy, you are loved. This lyrical story by Maggie Rudd, with gorgeous gentle artwork by Elisa Chavarri featuring a diverse cast of characters, celebrates the unbreakable bond of family, and all the ways our actions can say “I love you” louder than words.
