"I give you this morning because I love you ..." This lyrical text by Epp Petrone carries a message of gratitude, closeness, and love. The journey in this book takes place during one day, when a parent and child take a boat out on a river. Just as a river flows, the illustrations flow from one page to another. Artist Kamille Saabre has painted the characters in such a way that they could be male or female. That way every mother, father, son, and daughter can identify with the characters in this beautiful book.
