Gianna, the Book’s Inspiration

The inspiration for this story began on a simple morning drive to school with my daughter, Gianna. From the backseat came her gentle voice: “Mommy, do you love me when I go to school?” That question opened the door to many more—some tender, some profound, and some silly. “Do you love me when I don’t know?” she asked, surprised that my love stayed the same. Then, with a playful smile: “Do you love me when I’m messy?” In those car-ride moments, I saw her exploring what so many children wonder deep inside—that love is unconditional, no matter what. Her curiosity and joy sparked this book, a celebration of the questions children ask and the simple, steady answer they most need to hear: Yes. I Love You. Always.
