Well then, don't let me stand in your way! Ladies and gents, today's blog tour guest...

About the book...
When Angelic hears that Daddy spread his love for her around the whole universe, she worries she hasn’t done the same for her baby brother. Only one thing to do! Brother and sister rocket into the night sky to explore the universe in search of the most awesome thing there. “Space Baby Salute!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This story was so sweet, yet filled to the brim with adventure!
I love how the father figure explains how his love will follow them everywhere, anywhere, and beyond. I love how he explains to little Angelic that her baby brother will know her love as well, and yet despite that comfort, she sets her sites on spreading that love around a BIGGER space...as in OUTER SPACE! She rockets out of the atmosphere with her little brother, never leaving his crib, and notes the amazing reach of her father's love, while making sure to leave bits of her love for little bro behind, so he will always know he's cared for too.
With gorgeously colored illustrations throughout, and amazing use of imagination that I can definitely see kiddos blasting off with, this is a storybook that deserves a place on the family library shelf. It's one that can be pulled out in times of celebration and joy, but also those more trying times when rekindling that familial love connection can be harder than not. It strikes just the right chords to bring the beautiful notes of its message to life for kiddos as well as the adult readers that may be still in charge of story time.

About the illustrator...
Tom McGrath is based in the North West of England, working as a freelance illustrator since 2012.
