A lovely idea for a board book --- three toddlers (one white, one Black and one Chinese) each share a loving moment with a special adult (daddy, granny, mummy). The three episodes with their repetitive format are reminiscent of the verses of a poem; however I found the rhythm of the text unpredictable and thus uncomfortable to read aloud. The bright illustrations are painted in gouache. Overall the presentation is attractive, with varied borders and brushstrokes in the backgrounds often serving to focus our attention on the characters but some of the figures and their expressions are a little awkward.
