I LOVE YOU TOO

Ag Jatkowska Ziggy Marley

A beautifully illustrated, multicultural children’s picture book based on one of Ziggy Marley’s most beloved songs, “I Love You Too.”
The book explores a child’s relationship with parents, nature, and the unstoppable force of love. This is Ziggy’s first book, though his foray into children’s music is extensive and very well known. He is the singer of “Believe in Yourself,” the popular theme song of the hit TV show, Arthur.

"One day I was in my kitchen making breakfast with my kids, including my then three-year-old daughter Judah. She looked at me and said, “I love you.” I spontaneously replied to her, “I love you too.” From that came the song and now the book based on the lyrics. I hope you share and enjoy this with your loved ones as I have with mine. I love you too."
—From the introduction

Ziggy Marley is an Emmy and five-time Grammy award winner, a humanitarian, singer, songwriter, producer, and reggae icon, who has released fifteen critically acclaimed albums. His early immersion in music came at age ten when he sat in on recording sessions with his father, Bob Marley. As the front man of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, he released eight best-selling albums that garnered three Grammys, with such chart-topping hits as “Look Who’s Dancing,” “Tomorrow People,” and “Tumblin’ Down.” Ziggy’s first solo album, Dragonfly, was released in 2003 and was followed by two Grammy Award–winning solo albums, Love Is My Religion (Best Reggae Album) and Family Time (Best Children’s Album).

A sweetly affectionate ode to togetherness and love.

Lyrics inspired by an exchange with Marley’s 3-year-old daugh- ter are set to bright paintings of a multicultural cast of children and adults enjoying each other’s company indoors and out . . . The art will draw and hold young children’s attention.

Sure to be a hit at bedtime, the lyrical story conveys the sweet, soothing, and affirming message.

The emphasis of this book is that love has no boundaries.
