No, not YOU. Oh, "you" what a confusing topic. Grammatically speaking, the confusion of "you" and "me" is a one of the most common mistakes in the English language. It's a concept so complex - the idea of a generic subject - that children's brains involuntary revert to speaking about themselves in the third-person to avoid confusion.
But in this case, You is delightful book by Stephen Michael King.
(Special note for children's book authors and publishers, never choose a title like YOU! Try googling "You" - you hardly come up with an easy-to-navigate list!)
The book is a simple explanation of the world. It's an explanation that includes things I love: colors, sizes, music, and adventure. But the clear message is one of love.
And isn't it nice in our worlds of complex parent-child negotiations, schedules, meltdowns, and other bumps-in-the-road to have a moment in the day when your child may feel like the most important thing in the world is them.
