K-Gr 3–With his signature bright colors and bold lines, Parr brings another positive book about the love and support that is always there, even when one is feeling down. Starting with the dedication page—“To you. Don’t forget there is always someone there for you”—Parr boosts the spirits of readers who might have moments of self-doubt, fear, or sadness. It also shares when support is given in moments of joy and accomplishment. The refrain, “You will always have me,” in bold, capital, colorful letters will resonate for many.
VERDICT For the affirmations and SEL shelves, or a cheerful story hour, this book shines positivity and support for children young and old.
