This heartwarming story with its beautiful illustrations and the refrain "I'll take care of you" will resonate with children long after the book is closed. It introduces the wonderment of the cycles of nature and how kindness and nurturing keeps that cycle on going year after year.

An insignificant little seed has lost its way and becomes very significant to the Sky, Earth, and Sun. They lovingly adopt it and care for it until it grows into an amazing apple tree. A lost and lonely blackcap bird needs refuge and the tree reaches out and invites her to build her nest in its branches. One day she lays an egg and sits on it patiently until a tiny chick hatches. She keeps it warm and safe and teaches it how to sing and fly. The author goes on to tell of the apple tree losing all its apples and seeds. The wind picks up the seeds and scatters them where the Earth, Sky and Water can take care of them. All the seeds but one have found a nurturing home. What will happen to that one seed that fell among the rocks? Will it be rescued and cared for too?

"I'll Take Care of You" highlights the astounding ecosystem as it quietly sustains the rhythm of nature. Children will awaken to the fact that they are cared for and loved by their own families and friends and the love that they receive can be passed on to others around them too. The book highlights the themes of empathy, kindness and community.

I love the quiet, gentle, educational vibe of the book. It is perfect for a bedtime story. I highly recommend it.

This is such a cute picture book with vibrants colors. The title in itself is full of warmth. As an adult who wished to have more emotional validation as a child, I loved how this book emphasizes on the power of nurturance and the beautiful things that come out of taking care of someone.

What a sweet story about the interconnectedness of all God's creations! A seed falls, and the earth, sky and water agree to take care of it to help it become a tree. The branch helps the mama bird by holding her nest for her. The mama bird helps her baby chick. Etc. I loved this simple tale about how the world will take care of us if we take care of the world.
