MORE THAN A MILLION, by Grace Farris, Bloomsbury Children’s Books, Jan. 6, 2026, Hardcover, $18.99 (ages 3-6)
Weekend Mom cartoonist Grace Farris celebrates unconditional love in her debut picture book, More Than a Million.
Love you more than a million blueberries on the floor
Love you more than a million goodbyes at the school door
During every moment, through the ups and downs, a caregiver’s love is boundless. From the morning rush to goodbye hugs, at the playground and at home, your grownups will always love you. —Synopsis provided by Bloomsbury Children’s Books
More Than a Million is a humorous ode to the love parents have for their kids despite “all the things” … IYKYK. It’s a fun read for both parents and kids alike, as the kids get to be “in” on the joke, even if they don’t always get it. Farris gets to the heart of things with illustrations that capture the love, and the mess. This is a great choice leading up to Valentine’s Day.
