"Love me later," a little boy, Abe,
tells his parents whenever they are
coming in for a hug.
Readers, however, should do
something immediately: buy this
book.
Julie Baer has created a beauti-
fully written and illustrated srory
about a child and his safe and
happy child world. A butterfly
lands on his nose, and his mother
draws a picture of the scene. He
kisses the mezuzah. He asks his
parents about words he used to
make up. He has a yummy dinner
of beans and rice and cheese, his
favorite. He plays with his cat.
And throughout: "Dad is smil-
ing at me in that way! Uh oh!
'Later, Dad, later,' I say."
And then "later" finally comes,
and Abe decides to "wrap my arms
around them ... because Mom
drew my butterfly, and because
Dad made rice and beans, my
favorite. And because later is now."
Amazing art (all painted by the
author) is included -- colorful,
bright, engaging -- along with an
adventure masterfully written as
though a child really were speak-
ing. An absolute treasure.
