Reminiscent of Rainstorm Publishing’s Tender Moments Collection, If There Never Was A You is an adorable rhyming story of a mother bunny telling her son how much she loves having him in her life. 


Youngsters will reach for this memorable book again and again.



If There Never Was A You is a lovely tribute to a mother’s unconditional love for her children. The rhyme and accompanying illustrations are colorful, glossy and vibrant; a delightful treat for the ears and eyes.


Rowe has written a timeless story that is simple and bursting with joyful love. Skomorokhova’s bubbly, doe-eyed characters will endear parents, teachers and children. 


I’m sure that after several readings, youngsters will enjoy viewing the illustrations to discuss the colors, shapes, patterns and lively actions of the characters. 


I give it 5 Sugary Sweet Lemon Drops!
