  • Gorgeous book with a beautiful, simple storyline

    My daughter and i read it every night she is with me. When she separates from me, i ask her to make sure she has Mummy's love with her as she goes. It would be great to have a teddy, butterfly or soft toy that has the blue silver love wings (similar to the hugs and kisses soft toys) for her to take with her. Just make it look like the ones in the book!

  • Absolutely beautiful product!

    This is one of the cutest products I’ve seen! I am so looking forward to giving it to my four-year-old daughter over the weekend at our “big sister celebration”, and then seeing her gift one to her little brother who is set to arrive shortly.

  • Love Wings

    What a beautiful portrayal of a very common issue for many youngsters. The illustrations are beautiful and will help visualization of their inside feelings while the words will help them explain.

  • Precious books

    I love your books. Not only for the words and illustrations, the plush kisses are the best! Reading as a bedtime story then placing a plush kiss in their backpack to be found later is the best.
