David Walker’s sweet and reassuring writer-illustrator debut Here with Me, about the everlasting bonds of love, is sure to be a modern children's classic.

If you could be a different kind of you,
what would you wish to be?
A monkey in a tree?
Would you be a fluffy fox?
A slow-moving sloth?

Or maybe, if you had the choice,
you wouldn’t be different at all…
because maybe, right here with the ones you love
is the best place in the world to be.

"The rhymes are steady and gentle, set against smudgy, dreamlike backdrops in a palette of lush greens and warm, toasty yellows. The rabbit appears envious of others’ abilities but always circles back to a connection with family. It’s not a tale of self-acceptance or identity but rather unconditional love." —Kirkus
