No Matter What

I delight in great picture books and I found another one, sure to become a favorite. No Matter What by Emma Dodd is a very short, sweet, and comforting story of a parent's love for a child. Although this is a book of few words, the message is clear: It does not matter what you do, you are loved. It is perfect for the youngest preschooler, but should appeal to older ones as well. I think it would even be a great gift for a baby shower. If you want to use the book in your classroom, consider using it to help children describe all the ways they can be or feel. Create a book or poster with the prompt, "Our teachers (or appropriate caregiver) love us when we are.."
