by Sarah W. Elliott-Caratasios (Author), Bivenne Staiger (Illustrator)

I Love You As Much As... by Sarah Elliott-Caratasios is a tender and uplifting children's book that captures the warmth of family love and the joy of shared imagination. Inspired by her own children, Sarah brings to life a heartfelt game that became a treasured tradition in their home. She and her four children would sit together and playfully express their love by saying, "I love you as much as..." and then inventing the silliest, most delightful comparisons they could think of. Their game would fill their home with laughter, comparing their love to a monkey's passion for bananas, a puppy's excitement for a game of fetch, or a kitten's coziness in a warm patch of sun. These lighthearted exchanges sparked a special bond, showing Sarah just how powerful simple, loving moments can be.

This book is more than a story; it's an invitation to families everywhere to create their own playful traditions and to celebrate love in a way that's both nurturing and imaginative.

Through this simple yet profound tradition, Sarah aims to show how love can be expressed in fun, creative ways that make children feel safe, valued, and adored.

As families share in this story, they'll be encouraged to create their own silly comparisons and to enjoy those irreplaceable moments of togetherness.
