I Love You the Purplest

The universal question of "Who do you love the best?" is perfectly answered by the author of the best-selling Mama, Do You Love Me?

Award-winning author Barbara M. Joosse has created a beautiful story of two brothers and their mother. As the family spends the day fishing, the two boys vie for attention. They ask their Mama who is best at finding worms, who rows the fastest, who is the best fisherman and ultimately, "Who do you love best?" This universal question is perfectly answered when, in the spirit of true unconditional love, Mama explains that she loves each of them in their own special way. The jubilant Max she loves the "reddest" and the quiet Julian she loves the "bluest." Together she loves both her boys the "purplest." A celebration of both parental love and of the unique qualities that make every child an individual, the eloquent text speaks to any child, parent, or sibling.
