Sami and the Big Book of Because

Ages 0–6

A parent gathers up every small, muddy, giggly, wonderful thing about Sami into one big warm reason: he is loved simply for being himself.

A parent's love for a child is unconditional, made of small everyday moments, not achievements.

The cover of "Sami and the Big Book of Because"

I love you because of your giggle— the one that starts small, then wobbles, then BOOMS through the kitchen like a jar of loose spoons! That's why I love you.

I love you because of your muddy boots, stomping puddle-songs down the garden path— splash, splash, SPLASH— like the whole world is one big drum. That's why I love you.

I love you because of your questions at bedtime: Why do stars blink? Do clouds get dizzy? Where do socks go when they hide? So many wonders, wiggling out of you.
