My love
- Tell me, Mommy, will you love me for the rest of your life? asks Archibald one evening before falling asleep.
- Hmm, well, I’m going to tell you a secret..., his mom replies.
Thus begins the tender inventory of moments shared between a mother and her child, where everything becomes an excuse to love one another.
On every double-page spread, Astrid Desbordes has chosen to juxtapose contrasting situations, which play with ease between the registers of everyday life and imagination, poetry and humor. The message of this irresistible picture book is simple and crystal clear: love is constant and unconditional. But it is in the very last sentence that the true secret is hidden: “I love you because you are my child / but you will never belong to me.”
Pauline Martin’s illustrations, subtle in both line and color, powerfully emphasize the delicacy of this wonderful declaration of love.
