All children want and need to be loved. Our world needs love more than anything! I first wrote this manuscript when I had four young sons. When leaving, I would post it on the refrigerator so if I didn’ t return they’ d know how much I loved them.
In 2025 it became a heartfelt illustrated book by the talented Rachael Downey. I Love You More Than Candy Pops is also a search and find book with hidden hearts on each page.
