“A good book to have on hand to comfort first-day preschoolers or kindergarteners.” —Booklist

Do I have to go? Owen asks. Yes, says his mom. But she sends him off with more than just his lunch. She promises that no matter where he is and no matter what he's doing—whether Owen is making a new friend or spilling his juice—she'll love him all day long, from the moment they part until the moment Owen is back in her arms again.

Francesca Rusackas and Priscilla Burris's book is a reassuring picture book to share with nervous little ones. It shows how the enduring love of a parent stays with a child whether they are together or apart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good message
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2023

I bought this book to read to my 3yr old son to help him understand that just because I may not be with him that I still love him. It seems to help him understand that no matter what is going on, and no matter what he does, whether we’re together or apart that a mother still loves their child. It’s a cute, short story with pictures that make sense to my son. He has picked it out as a bedtime book in multiple occasions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable book for my 3year old

Adorable book. My daughter is 3 and she started saying this to me "mommy I love you all day long" when I would pick her up from school.. and one day I just entered those words in the Amazon search & sure enough this book popped up. I had never even heard anyone say that before except my little girl. So of course I looked at the reviews which were great & ordered it. Tonight she wanted me to read it over & over again. She loves it. Sweet message. Bright colors. Perfect for her age. Simple. Would buy again. I'm so glad I found it

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful with separation anxiety
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2008

I gave this book to my daughter whose two-year-old just started preschool, and she tells me it has helped so much with his adjustment. The refrain has become a kind of "mantra" of reassurance for him--not unlike carrying around a security blanket. His mother has personalized the text, reminding him that "I love you when you're at school, I love you when you miss me ( but I ALWAYS come back), I love you when you're playing with blocks, I love you when the teacher is reading you a story, I love you when you're having fun on the playground." She also reminds him at home that "I love you when you're taking a nap, I love you when you make a mess, I love you when I'm angry with you, I love you all day long!" He also enjoys filling in his own examples. A wonderful, warm story with a helpful message for toddlers!

Great aid for bedtime separation anxiety as well (I modify text to read, "I love you all the time...all day and all night"; "I love you when you're awake and I love you when you're asleep"; "I also love you when....") Honestly, unless it was a huge coincidence, this book helped stop separation anxiety in its tracks for daycare dropoff and nap/bedtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for kids transitioning to school!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2014

Bought this book when my daughter started having a hard time with school dropoff in the morning. The story is a sweet reminder that just being apart from each other doesn't mean that our love stops! The pictures are adorable - I love to see the sub story of Owen's stuffed frog throughout the book. The pictures also give great opportunities to talk beyond the words of the story about issues little ones worry about throughout the day. We read it just for fun now, and there are so many quotes from the book that are part of our family's every day vocabulary - from marching "to a clang clickety clang", to reminding each other that "I love you when I'm with you and I love you when we're apart". All in all a great book, highly recommend.

My toddler LOVES this book. I'm not sure if it has helped with the transition to daycare, but it definitely reinforces the message that we love her no matter what. I recommend this for nightly bedtime affirmations.

This is such a great book. My 4 year old has struggled with separation anxiety this year, especially leaving him at school. He adores this book! He has it memorized. This morning when we arrived at preschool he became upset but then recited the book and saying goodbye was much easier!

Very touching. My daughter loves this book. But the cost of the book is very high. The paper quality is not so good. The book is for kids so it should be a board book. Slightly rough use can tear the paper.

This book has been a god send. It's a simple but perfect story showing whether you're with your loved one or apart you still love them all day long. My daughter was never a fan of preschool and her seperation anxiety became even worse when she started school. We tried books about kissing hands which did not impress her one bit but this book did. We read it regularly and along with some ther strategies we found in a No Cry Seperation Anxiety book she now goes to school happily and enjoys it too.
