About the Book

If you could be a different kind of you, what would you wish to be? A monkey in a tree? Would you be a fluffy fox? A slow-moving sloth? Or maybe, if you had the choice, you wouldn't be different at all... because maybe, right here with the ones you love is the best place in the world to be.

Book Synopsis

David Walker's sweet and reassuring writer-illustrator debut Here with Me, about the everlasting bonds of love, is sure to be a modern children's classic.

If you could be a different kind of you,
what would you wish to be?
A monkey in a tree?
Would you be a fluffy fox?
A slow-moving sloth?

Or maybe, if you had the choice,
you wouldn't be different at all...
because maybe, right here with the ones you love
is the best place in the world to be.

Here With Me is the perfect gift, especially on Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Valentine's Day!

Review Quotes

"The rhymes are steady and gentle, set against smudgy, dreamlike backdrops in a palette of lush greens and warm, toasty yellows. The rabbit appears envious of others' abilities but always circles back to a connection with family. It's not a tale of self-acceptance or identity but rather unconditional love." --Kirkus

"In a sweet solo debut, Walker affirms the importance of the child's primary bond--and the first stirrings of imagination and independence." --Publishers Weekly
