    You're Strong With Me Children's Book by Chitra Soundar

    The rain clouds are long gone and the dry season scorches the land. Everything is new for the baby giraffe. As she bounds ahead and lags behind, her mother patiently explains the ways of the grasslands. And until she grows a little taller, older and wiser, her mother reminds her: “You’re strong with me.”

    This beautiful picture book by Chitra Soundar and illustrated by Poonam Mistry is a wonderful book set in Africa with a mother Giraffe and her baby. This heart-warming tale of parental love is full of reassurance and for young children, a wonderful lyrical book for bedtime. The illustrations are truly stunning – young children will me mesmerised by the geometric patterns in golds, reds and greens and spotting the stylised folklore animals hidden within the pages.

    Chitra Soundar is an Indian-born British author and storyteller, who has published more than 30 books inspired by the rich heritage of folktales from India and India's natural beauty.

Wow!

Firstly… wow! What an amazingly illustrated book! M&M have never read something so magical, sparkly and so many amazing patterns!

The story follows a baby giraffe just starting out in the world, and is experiencing everything for the first time. The mother watches on protecting the baby and making sure they are safe.
The baby giraffe is learning about the birds on their back, that help clean them and eat the insects, to drinking water in the creek.

When it gets a bit tricky, the mother reassures the baby giraffe, and tells them that one day they will be bigger and stronger, but until then.. “You’re strong with me”

This is such a beautiful bedtime story

A book of beauty

I have been eyeing up the books in this series for a while, so I am so happy to finally have You're Strong With Me in our collection.

The whole book is a work of art, and every page is overflowing with beauty. The patterns and geometric designs across the pages are enough to keep my twins enthralled for ages, and they are illustrations that I would happily put up on my wall!

Apart from the illustrative genius throughout the book, the story is a touching tale of how we are stronger when er are together with family - a lovely sentiment brought to life through the eyes of a young giraffe!

Lovely bedtime story

Really nice story about a baby giraffe and it’s mum. The baby is learning all it needs to do as it grows and the mum is reassuring him until he can do it by himself he is ‘strong with me’. Really eye catching illustrations too!

A charming tale

The first thing that struck me about this book was the illustrations. They are eye catching and so beautiful.

The story follows a baby giraffe and it's mother. The baby giraffe attempts to do things independantly for the first time whilst mum watches on protectively, stepping in when needed. She keeps telling the baby giraffe to stay close saying "you're Strong with me". It's a very charming warm tale. It's perfect for bedtime as it's so mesmerising and calming.

Beautiful illustrations, gentle story

We already have a book from this series and love it so I'm sure we would enjoy this book too!

I read this book to my little ones, 5yo and 3yo, the 5yo commented that the pictures are full of different patterns and he asked lots of questions about why the baby giraffe couldn't do certain things.

It's a lovely gentle story of how a young giraffe depends on it's parent as it grows into it's own. We also use this story to look back on how my children have grown over the years and the things they still rely on us parents to help them with.

Overall, a lovely gentle book about family bond and love.
