This love song by John Denver adapted as a picture book makes a great a baby gift, but it also will help set a calm sweet mood in a classroom. Sunny, colorful illustrations show families and animals from around the world as the lyrics express unconditional love. It is a wonderful teaching tool for young children of how parents--both human and non-human--love their children in very much the same way all over the world. A map in the back and a description of the animals shown will help spark discussion with your young ones. The song is one of the most beautiful John Denver ever wrote; the CD comes with the hardback edition.
