The heaviness of loss is lightened by Halifax artist Carole Liu's brightly hued, cheerful water colour illustrations. The scenes are full of life and renewal, capturing fun times on a favourite amusement park ride, Grandpa's perennially blooming flower garden and completing the circle with Emily's newborn son. --Quill and Quire (Toronto, ON) Eric Walters's 101st book could be described as Love You Forever meets The Jolly Postman. --QuillandQuire.com (Toronto, ON) Like Munsch's Love You Forever, Always with You is more likely to appeal to the adult readers who are sharing the book with children than it will the young listeners who have yet to experience the life events the book references. However, children will still be engaged by the opportunities to lift the envelope flaps that cover the letters' contents, thereby revealing what Emily's grandfather had written to her. In an opening A Note from the Author , Walters shares the happening which led to the creation of Always with You and concludes by saying, I hope that as you read this book, you remember someone you love and all the ways they are still with you. I suspect that a number of parents and grandparents will be prompted to follow Emily's grandfather's example and will actually prepare their own series of letters and gifts. --Canadian Reviews of Materials (Winnipeg, MB) Part Jolly Postman with sturdy fold out letters and part classic Munsch Love You Forever, there is much to like in this charming and sincere book which addresses childhood grief with empathy and understanding. --Resource Links (Pouch Cove, NL)
