The most powerful force in the world is love. In I Love You Always & Forever: Siempre Te Voy Amar, Marisela Marquez explains how powerful and important love is. It is written to help children understand the abstract idea of love and how to love others. One of the loving things is that Marisela writes in English and Spanish, including those whose first language is Spanish. Love is so powerful it cannot be conquered by distance, age, or separation. Love even transcends the barrier between this life and the next. If someone loves you and you love them back, you will always have that love in your heart. Assure your children that you will love them forever and that your love is unconditional.
Marisela Marquez shares the abstract idea of love with concrete examples that children can readily understand. In I Love You Always & Forever, Marisela writes from the heart about love, which is more vital than life itself. Nadia Ronquillo does a superb job illustrating this story. Marisela is of Hispanic descent, so she is a masterful writer in both Spanish and English. Your children are sure to love the cute characters found throughout. Marisela is dedicated to helping women and children affected by grief. Learning about love will help your child know how to deal with grief. After counseling grieving people of all ages for over forty years, I highly recommend it for children, especially those who have recently lost a loved one. Help your child understand that love does not stop at the time of death. It goes on and remains in their heart.
