Books published by publisher Our Hour Books

One and Only is the first book in a series, to be published by Our Hour Books, called Love-A-Bye Books. These books are all based around the idea that you can never tell a child too often, too early, or in too many ways that they are loved, wanted, and of value. Each volume is a single poem that uses simple language, sing-songy rhymes, and simple soothing imagery. Each volume is also illustrated with bold graphics and easy to read text. Love-A-Bye books are written to mimic the repetitive nature of traditional lullabies, providing the perfect last story before bedtime, or a quick read whenever a little one needs comfort.
