I really enjoyed this book. The pictures are bright and beautiful. I also love how nature works together to sustain life. I believe my students would enjoy this book. Thank you for the arc!

I'll Take Care of You is a beautiful story of love and the interconnectedness of our world. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the simple prose is perfect for the story.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this title. All opinions and mistakes are my own.

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.

Thanks to Netgalley for giving me a free ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I received this arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book had a sweet message about taking care of what you can but the message was entertained with nurturing a seed and helping it sprout and grow. Pretty illustrations!

Stunning illustrations and simple prose about the interconnectedness of the world is sure to appeal to the youngest children.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is about how a bird takes care of a seed and how everything in the natural world works together.

Beautiful art and love the story of a growth cycle/ecosystem but not something we need at the moment. Nice for collections.

This sweet tale about the life cycle of nature is perfect for young readers. The explanations are easy to follow and help young children to learn. The illustrations are exquisite! I would love to have a copy in my classroom.

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.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced e-reader version of I'll Take Care of You in exchange for an honest review. I loved the illustrations in this story about a seed that grows up to become a tree. The sweet story tells about a bird, fertile soil, rain, and sunshine that all work to take care of a seed. The seed grows into a tree and in turn takes care of birds and their eggs.

I think that this would be a wonderful accompaniment to a lesson about seeds, life cycles, and spring. I also feel that this would make a very enjoyable storytime read aloud, as the illustrations are beautiful.

This book has gorgeous illustrations. The story of the Earth, Sky, and Sun caring for the tiny seed, who grew into a tree that took care of a bird and her baby, who in turn took care of the tree’s tiny seed is a beautiful story of the connection between plants and animals. It would be a great addition to any library.

I’ll take care of you is a heart warming story of the life cycle of a seed and how the earths life cycles work together. The illustrations are beautiful and combined with the story tell an important message of the impact of caring for another.

A picture book whose illustrations and story grow with the tiny seed. The book begins with an all white spread and only a tiny seed. Each page introduces more colors and textures and as the seed grows through its life cycle the illustrations become more varied and vibrant. It has the essence of a Por quoi tale. It would be a good story to introduce preschoolers to the life cycle of a plant or an ecosystem study. Children will be attracted to the simplicity of the story and the illustrations. Teachers will appreciate the extension activities that can be done with the story to introduce theme units on plants, the sun, clouds, water and so much more. I haven't seen a book illustrated like this for a while and it would be a great addition to libraries picture book collections.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to the cycle of caring and how one kind act can grow. Great for little kids.

This book is gorgeous! The text is so simple, but the effect is sophisticated. This book will be perfect in my Catholic Montessori school library. It not only captures the science of life cycles, but it also emphasizes care and love of the Earth.

I'll Take Care of you started off strong. It had a really great message of hope and this sense of safety. The pictures were colorful and overall entertaining. However, I feel like the book ended pretty abruptly. I see the full circle of the story, I just think the ending didn't have as much thought as the rest of the story.

I want to thank the author, publisher, and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book for an honest review.

A simple, but moving story about the cycle of caring.

A lonely seed is taken care of by the earth, water and sun so that it grows into a big strong tree. The tree in turn offers protection to a bird who can safely next in it's branches and care for her chick. When the tree's apples fall, one seed does not land in the safe soil, but the bird the tree protecting returns the favor by carrying the seed to fertile land and sings to the seedling about it's great future.

Kindness is contagious.

The illustrations are bright and eye catching.

This beautiful picture book introduces children to the interconnectedness of nature with a single refrain repeated throughout: “I’ll take care of you.” So says the Earth, the Water, and the Sky to the scared little seed that grows into a strong apple tree. So says the selfsame tree to the blackcap bird who takes shelter in its branches. So says the blackcap bird to her tender hatchling, whom she loves, nourishes, and teaches to fly. So says the blackcap bird to the seed that falls among stones once the apple tree sheds its blossoms and its fruit. The little bird watches over the seed which she entrusts to the Earth’s tender care. She sings to it and hopes for it until one day, a shoot breaks forth and the cycle begins once again.

Thus the gift of care is shared and magnified among all of nature and her children in I’ll Take Care of You, and I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this simple yet powerful tale. Nicoletta Bertelle’s warm and vibrant illustrations reinforce the themes of community and ecological harmony found in Maria Loretta Giraldo’s text, gorgeously translated from the Italian by Johanna McCalmont. I’ll Take Care of You is ideal for daycare, preschool, and local Story Time groups, who can reinforce the concepts introduced in the book by performing acts of care for one another and others in their community.

Wonderful story and repetition with amazing illustrations. I loved reading this to my kids and they were very interested in the story!
