About this Story

“Heartwarming, Endearing, Bedtime Story”

I Love You to the Moon and Back book cover with parent and baby bear

“I Love You to the Moon and Back” is basically the book that saves bedtime battles everywhere! 🐻💫 My neighbor’s toddler asks for this one every single night, and honestly, I totally get why. Amelia Hepworth wrote it with illustrator Tim Warnes, and they nailed the whole unconditional love thing.

The ungendered bears allow children to relate to the little bear while seeing their own parent or carer in the big bear. That’s pretty clever when you think about it - any family can see themselves in these characters ✨

What makes this different from other “I love you” books is how it shows love through all the messy, everyday moments. Little Bear climbs trees, splashes in puddles, and gets into all sorts of adventures. Big Bear’s love never wavers, not even when things get chaotic.

It’s loaded with sentiment and is just very sweet to share with small, snuggly, just out of the bath toddlers. The illustrations are super soft and dreamy - perfect for that pre-sleep wind-down vibe 🌙

Here’s what parents love: it works. Kids actually settle down after hearing about cosmic-sized love. The rhythm is gentle enough to be soothing but engaging enough to hold attention.

With sturdy pages that are easy for little hands to turn I Love You to the Moon and Back will soon become a firm bedtime favourite. The board book version is basically indestructible too, which every parent appreciates! Perfect for ages 6 months to 4 years, especially clingy phases when kids need extra reassurance. You can find it at or check out the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition with personalization pages! Sweet dreams guaranteed 💤
