JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is a sweet, rhyming picture book of love, shown as caregiver and child tiger. The poem simply states that the reader loves you exactly as you are, no matter what, even when you make mistakes. The book has some additional interest in silver foil added to accent the background on select pages, such as on the river and in the stars.

What I loved: This is such a sweet book about unconditional love that caregivers will enjoy sharing with children. The tiger and cub are adorable throughout and give visual interest on each page. The illustrations are lovely and the foil really adds something special to key pages that children will love to look at. The book is relatively short, focused on the brief rhyme of love, so pages will turn quickly. This is a great feature for little ones who love to move through books fast.

What left me wanting more: The words are really hard to read on a few pages, where they are in a black font on top of dark blue backgrounds. In low light, such as at bedtime, this is nearly impossible to read, which is too bad because otherwise, it's a great and comforting choice for just before sleep.

Final verdict: JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is a lovely rhyming poem of unconditional love featuring elegant illustrations and foil detailing that will work well for little ones.
