{"product_id":"and-i-think-about-you-rosanne-l-kurstedt-9781525304590","title":"And I Think about You","description":"\u003cp\u003e A mother bear at work all day never stops thinking about her child in this reassuring story with a heartwarming message. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this tender picture book, a mother bear tells her child about her workday. She describes one activity after another, and follows each description with \"And I think about you.\" Illustrations show her at her tasks, with a corresponding activity she imagines with her child in a thought bubble beside her. Then, turn the page, and the child is shown participating in a parallel activity at school. So, the mother bear reads her emails, and thinks about reading to her child, while the child reads on the carpet in the classroom. She shares a project with her coworkers, and thinks about sharing time with her child on the sofa, while the child shares a pinwheel during circle time. The rhythmic pattern will enchant and delight young readers -- all the way to the surprising end! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rosanne L. Kurstedt beautifully captures the loving connection between a parent and child in this sweet story told in a gentle singsong narration, with sound effects. Ya-Ling Huang uses layers of watercolor and colored pencils to create a soft, transparent visual effect. The repeated refrain -- \"And I think about you\" -- is relatable, comforting and true, perfect for reassuring a child that, even out of sight, they are never out of their parents' thoughts. This book will encourage sharing stories, and could spark a wonderful routine for readers. It offers an excellent opportunity to explore what parents do all day at work as well. It is also sure to resonate with parents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosanne L.
