I Love You Better than Chocolate Chip Cookies is the second release from children's author (and Writer's Block alum) Donalisa Helsley. The story explores what love is by comparing it to a variety of desirable foods, everyday activities, and special occasions. For this review, I read the print component only.
Donalisa uses examples of things that children really enjoy (roller coasters, ice cream, pizza, etc.) to convey that loving one another is more important than loving material items and fun experiences. I Love You Better than Chocolate Chip Cookies paints a picture of what unconditional love looks like. It is unwavering support, care, and concern whether or not one is perfect 100% of the time.
The illustrations are lively, bright, and colorful. The artist does a wonderful job of bringing life to Donalisa's words.
I Love You Better than Chocolate Chip Cookies is a really good story and teaching tool for parents to share with their children.
