Have I Ever Told You? by Shani King
4.0

Age: Preschool+
Identity: African American author, Swiss illustrator

Affirmations of positivity, support, and love are paired with the reoccurring question, "Have I ever told you that?" The illustrations are vibrant and full of depth, perfect for a wide age range. Due to its emphasis on kindness and building a better world through our children, this book seems to take a leap beyond other "parental love" books. This would also be an excellent book for a teacher to reaffirm her or his support for their students (since the relationship between reader and listener is not explicitly stated).
