“Have I ever told you that, for me, there is no one more special than you? That for me, you are the most special child in the world, and that I love you now and will love you forever? Have I ever told you that?”
Shani King wrote Have I Ever Told You? as a note to his children, to remind them that they are amazing in their individuality and that they have the power to choose who they want to be in this world. The illustrations create a masterful visual narrative: warm, witty, simple, profound, and as ferociously empowering as a children’s book can be.

A beautiful book to share with your child/children about all the ways you love them. It is so sweet and got me a bit emotional! I make sure to tell my kids all the time all the ways they matter to me and how loved they are. I just loved reading them this book. I write my kids notes and pit them in their lunch boxes everyday. I wish I could put this book in their lunch box!!! Such a great message for our kids. A must for gift giving; for Christmas, birthday or any special occasion. A sweet and tender book.
This sounds like a beautiful book. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations, Shani!
