When a tiny baby joins a family, there's no limit to the love that is shared! CRAZY-MUCH LOVE is bestowed upon a child whose parents have waited and dreamed and traveled far distances in order to bring her into their family. As the child grows, she begins to realize just how special she is and how very much she is loved.

The lyrical words and the author's use of repetition work so beautifully to answer the questions of this child's heart: How much is she loved? and How long will that love last? The lively, fun, and vibrant illustrations in this gorgeous picture book reflect the vivacious nature of love that never quits or ends or gives up, but lasts forever and always!
