I Love You Like Yellow by Andrea Beaty and Vashti Harrison is a sweet, slightly abstract poem, accompanied by gorgeous, colorful illustrations demonstrating the many forms that love can take. “I love you like yellow” is paired with the image of a mom and child sharing a cheerful yellow umbrella, and “I love you like crunchy and crispy” shows two children and a dad gleefully sharing a bag of delicious popcorn. The rhythm of the words is fun to read, and the message--that sharing, spending time together, and other everyday acts equal love--is beautiful and universal.
