- What a delightful book with a beautiful and timeless message. The illustrations are stunning too. Sue captures the heart behind the eternal love we get to share with our children and grandchildren. This book would make a wonderful addition to your book shelf and a great go-to gift for any occasion.
- This book is just precious. I found it reminiscent of the best selling children's book called, Love You Forever. My grown children still talk about that book, and I believe my grandchildren will be touched in that way by I Love You More than the Day Before. Sue Schlesman paints a beautiful Love story between a mom, a son, and a holy God. The illustrations by Alexandra Rutkowski are dreamy and beautiful. I highly recommend this beautiful book.
- As a mom and grandma, it is hard to put into words how much I adore my children and grandchildren. It is a love that is too big to explain. But this picture book beautifully captures the ever-growing love I feel. The lyrical words and lovely illustrations make every page feel warm, comforting, and full of affection. My children enjoy hearing it again and again, and I treasure its meaningful message. This book is perfect for bedtime, storytime with your kids, or as a keepsake gift for a new mom and her baby. Get a copy and be reminded that true love grows stronger with every passing day!
- I love this sweet book. I am planning to give it to a new mom who is expecting a little boy. As I read it, I was reminded of my own journey as a mom with my son, and how it's true - each passing day your love expands. Now my son is a young adult and I love him more and more. Thank you Sue for this sweet reminder of how love grows!
- I purchased this book as a baby shower gift. The mama-to-be loved the beautiful story and stunning artwork. This will definitely be a go-to gift for future baby showers.
- Wow!!! I just sent my daughter off to college, and this book brought me to tears. It’s such a simple book, yet so incredibly impactful. I expected a children’s book, but what I found was something that spoke directly to my heart. It helped me understand God, my grief, and the emotions I’ve been carrying during this new chapter of letting my daughter go. This is so much more than a kids’ book—it’s a beautiful reminder of faith, love, and finding comfort during life’s hardest transitions. Absolutely beautiful and deeply meaningful.
- Beautifully illustrated and very well written! This is a sweet story of a mother’s love as she and her child experience special moments together from birth through adulthood. The story is easy for children to understand, and the repetitive phrase makes it especially fun for children to join in and repeat as the book is read to them. A beautiful story that children and parents can enjoy!
- What a beautiful book! The tender thoughts we have toward our children are perfectly captured in the precious words used by the author! The moments described in the book brought me back to the time I walked my daughter through the early years. The most precious illustrations fill this book! Loved every detail! I would say it’s a must-read for parents, grandparents, godparents, aunts, uncles and everyone that has a little one to read to!
- A beautiful story that both of my children loved!

- This book will be an instant classic! It tugs at your heart strings and is uplifting at the same time. The message of unconditional love for your child is the most important message of their life. This is a book your child will choose over and over to snuggle up and read with you! My husband said that this book made him remember fondly reading to our adult daughters when they were young. To make it even more special, the artwork is simply beautiful! (A word to the soft hearted, the last page may make you cry.) Buy this for all the little people and parents in your life!
