A moving bilingual ode to the unshakeable bond between a parent and child in the tradition of Runaway Bunny and The Wonderful Things You Will Be, now a board book for the youngest hands.

As a mother holds her young child, they muse over the way their bond would translate as different animals--a sheep and a lamb, a bear and a cub. They know their bond will change over time, but no matter how they each change, they will always be "us."
This beautiful story has universal parental appeal, and the bilngual text from Chilean author/illustrator Paloma Valdivia underlines that no matter how many differences we have from one another, we have more similarities.
"A bilingual Runaway Bunny, this cements family bonds in gentle language and specific, poetic art." --School Library Journal, Starred review

"A universal message sweetly and reassuringly expressed." --Kirkus
