You'Re All My Favorites

Sam McBratney is the author of the best-selling GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU and many other books for children. Of this book he says, "People often ask authors where their ideas come from, and often authors say they don't know. But I do know about this one. Once upon a time, my wife and I had three small children — two boys and a girl, just like in the story. And when they were young, we used to tell them a story very like YOU'RE ALL MY FAVORITES." Sam McBratney lives in Northern Ireland.Anita Jeram is the award-winning author-illustrator of I LOVE MY LITTLE STORYBOOK.
