Book Synopsis

A spellbinding gift book written and illustrated in full colour by Academy Award nominated star of stage and screen, Keira Knightley. Inspired by the author’s experiences as a parent, I Love You Just the Same explores themes of change, acceptance and family love.

“I love you best in all the world,” you said. Before the baby came. Now you say, “I love you just the same.”

When a young girl’s life is turned upside down by a new arrival, she’s taken on a surreal and dreamlike journey. Through enchanted forests and across mystical seas, she follows a trail of notes from her mother to find her way back home.

This gloriously illustrated book, with beautiful foiled jacket and ribbon marker, is the perfect gift for adults and children alike, and will resonate with families everywhere. A modern classic for readers who enjoyed The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, The Fox and the Star or Where the Wild Things Are. This timeless fable is the perfect book to read together at bedtime.

Our Review Panel says...

Keira Knightley’s debut book is a beautiful journey through the mind of a young child who feels displaced by the birth of her baby sister. These emotions will be recognised and felt by many siblings, and this book provides an opportunity for parents to have an open conversation about such feelings. This hardback book is so special – from its beautiful cover to the wonderful illustrations inside to the soft, lyrical words of the story. Every page is a beautiful talking point with its unusual use of black and white character portraits nestled amongst colourful pictures of nature. The notes from Mum enable us to feel a mother’s love and offer the reader gentle guidance and reminders of that love. This unique book will be enjoyed byyoung children and would make a perfect gift for a new big brother or sister.
