Summary

"How MUCH is the crazy-much love?" This simple question is answered as two parents recount the journey of adopting their daughter and the many milestone moments that follow. From the child's first bath and first time riding a tricycle, all the way to her boarding that big yellow bus, the crazy-much love grows SO MUCH that it spills out the windows and busts down the doors. A warm, lyrical celebration of the deep love parents hold for their children, and a comforting message for kids about how there can be only one special YOU.

Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "In this ode to a much-adored child adopted from an unspecified country by an American couple, the parents describe how they loved their child even before they met her. They share their excitement about snuggling her for the first time and welcoming her home. The bright colors of the digital-media artwork convey the parents' joy, and whimsical doodle-like dots and hearts evoke the family's exuberant love: And we knew / our crazy-much love for you / would grow and grow more / and spill out the windows / and bust down the doors. As the poem progresses, we see the little girl grow from an infant to a young schoolchild, and her parents celebrate milestones, such as learning to walk and boarding the school bus for the first time. The standout illustrations burst with energy and are as saturated with color as the subject of the story is showered with love. A perfect gift for an adoptive family and every family that has a deep and abiding love for their young children.--Michelle Young Copyright 2019 Booklist"
