Bookroo's summary
In a tender tale, a mama fox expresses unwavering love for her cub, capturing the essence of childhood's varied emotions.

This poetic journey reassures children of their parents' constant affection, beautifully illustrated with heartfelt watercolors. Discover the comforting embrace of unconditional love.
From the publisher
This book has quickly become a family favorite–and this new format with padded covers and cardstock pages will become an enduring classic of the genre. As a poem about a mama fox’s unconditional love for her cub, this story describes the many moods of all children–from happy to frightened, bashful to silly, and more–and reassures them of parents’ abiding affection and approval. Truly remarkable watercolor illustrations from David McPhail, sensitively wrought and never saccharine, are the perfect complement to Liza Baker’s rhythmic, rhyming text.
