Description
How can you describe how big a parents love is for their child Is it as big as a house, as big as a city, as big as the world
This is the house. Its very big! But its not as big as my love for you.
No matter how different our families may be, the one thing we all have in common is love. The evocative text and vibrant artwork explore the boundless love of a parent, comparing the scope of the familiar and the great unknown to the love they have for their child.
