Pai, tu amas-me? hc

The watercolor illustrations in this book are absolutely gorgeous, and my daughter loves pointing out all the animals on each page. We read it together every night now—it's quickly become our favorite bedtime routine.

My kid grabbed this off the shelf and immediately demanded I read it twice—the "Do You Love Me?" refrain hits exactly the right note for bedtime. It's sold over a million copies across languages, and I can see why; the sequel to Mama is just as heartwarming without being sappy.

My son asks for this one every single night now, and the way it captures that father-child bond feels genuinely special. It arrived quickly and the hardcover is sturdy enough for toddler hands, which is a relief. Only wish it was a bit longer, but the story hits just right.
