About the Author

Dr. Cusimano Love has spoken to audiences from suburban preschoolers to inner city teens to international diplomats. A winner of Harvard University's Pew Faculty Fellowship for teaching and Catholic University's Teacher of the Year Award, Maryann Cusimano Love is an effective presenter who favors participatory techniques.

Satomi Ichikawa, creator of the Nora books, lives in Paris, France.

Critical Reviews

"The rhythmic and lyrical text of this beautifully illustrated picture book explores the special connections between a parent and child...The joy and movement of running, spinning, splashing, and hugging are all captured in a warm and lighthearted manner. An appealing choice for bedtime sharing." -School Library Journal
