About the Book:
Whether it's a question from a
child to a parent or an adult to their significant other, the question “How
long will you love me?” probably gets asked more than you think...even if it
just stays in your head and you are the only one who hears it. Patti Brassard
Jefferson's creative first book starts with the question and each page gives a
warm, rhythmic reassurance --- "I promise I will love you 'til..."
It's the perfect book to read to someone to let them know your love is endless.
So, just how long WILL I love you? The answer is
perfectly clear in this book!
Beautiful book of love. This is an adorable rhyming book to share how much you love your little tyke. Your children need reinforcement as to your love and this is just the book that will give that. It is also fun playing eye spy for the heart that is on each page. The illustrations are drawn with ink and colored with pencil, but they capture your heart. They are just the right touch for the mood that is presented on each page. You can visit the author's home page here.

About the Author:
Patti Brassard Jefferson lives
under a palm tree in sunny Florida with her husband, Ken and their 2 rescued
mutts. How Long Will You Love Me is the first children's book that PBJ has
written and illustrated. She began drawing when she was a little girl and
forgot to stop when she grew up. She thinks doodling is a lost art and has a
special place in her heart for the smell of a new box of crayons.
More details: Patti Brassard
was born in upstate NY in 1962 but moved with her military family to Virginia
when she was 11 years old. She always loved art in school but never gave a
thought to making it a career until she started college in 1980. With no idea
where a Fine Arts degree would take her, she instead studied Media Arts
Advertising and after graduation, started her own graphic design company so
that she could continue to be a work-at-home mother to her daughter Nikki.
It was while Nikki was
learning to read that Patti mocked up her first book aimed at teaching
pre-readers the alphabet. She only shared it with her daughter and her
kindergarten class. It was very well received but Patti never pursued the
project any further.
Over the following years Patti
opened a paint-it-yourself pottery studio and got back to being involved in
more artistic endeavors. In 2010, she
remarried and added Jefferson to her name: Patti Brassard Jefferson. They moved to the Florida Keys with their two
rescued dogs, Marley & Mollie, and she opened an art gallery.
While in Florida, she decided
to dust off unfinished children's book project that she had put on the shelf.
It had started as a Valentines card years before and had morphed into the
beginning of a book. Over the next 2 years, Patti worked on the illustrations
and adding more pages. It was finished in October 2012 but she had no idea what
the next step was. A friend and fellow author had just self-published a novel
so Patti did some research. She decided
to start a Kick Starter campaign to raise
the funds necessary to self-publish her book. The campaign launched in April of
2013 and funded 30 days later. She signed with Halo Publishing International
and the book was released in June!
