Love for Marvin

About the Book

Each day of the week, Marvin and his mother spend special time together, and each day, Marvin asks his mother a different question about love, which she answers with several details and whatever is the most important answer to his question. This adorable story of love is told with colorful descriptions and fun alliteration, predictability, and rhyme. It was inspired by the author’s daughter, who would always ask, “How much do you love me?” to which she would answer “Big much, infinity and beyond, squared and cubed, and all the way to Pluto and back an infinite number of times.”
