A penguin mom or dad shows their baby love by promising to care for and treasure their little one—and above all, to never let them go. Well, except for when it's very important to let go, like when little one wants to eat, draw a picture, use the bathroom, calm down in quiet, or play with friends. Safely assured by a parent's steadfast love, the little penguin is free to explore its world, secure in the knowledge that affection and safety are always close by. But at the end of the day, it's baby penguin who comes back for one last hug with a promise never to let go.
Sweet, playful, and brought to life with energetic and colorful illustrations, Never Let You Go is a warm hug of a book that reassures young readers through their first steps on the path to growing up. Destined to be a beloved read-aloud for parents and children alike, this is the perfect book for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or a baby shower. At any time of year, Never Let You Go's simple but powerful message of enduring love and support is one little readers and parents will take to heart.

      A penguin parent assures a penguin child that love will always be there.The bowling-pin-shaped adult penguin is purple and smiles affectionately at its rounded, slightly-brighter-purple little one, while qualifying the various circumstances that might modify the declaration in the opening pages: "I will never let you go." "Except" continues the large penguin speaking to the small penguin, "when you need to go to the bathroom." And eat lunch or draw a picture. "But other than that, little one...I will never let you go." And then, amusingly, some more exceptions: "when you have to chase the stars," "throw a tantrum," "need some quiet time"--and finally: "want to play with your friends." Here the little penguin is seen happily bouncing away to a group of young penguins but returning to give a reassuring hug to the loving big penguin and repeat the words: "I will never let you go." The digitally colored brush, ink, and charcoal art is simple and clear, and the humor and truth of the exceptions woven into the hyperbolic promise of "never" keep the message of unconditional love (except possibly for that tantrum) from being saccharine or claustrophobic. Just fine for an extra reading hug at bedtime. (Picture book. 18 mos.-4)
