What is What I like most about?

A little girl shares the things she loves most: looking out of the window, apricot jam, light-up shoes, hot chips and her favourite red pencil. But everything changes as time passes—her shoes become too small, her plate is emptied and her pencil grows shorter. One thing remains constant, though: the love she has for her mother. Through gentle repetition and vivid details, this tender picture book celebrates childhood favourites, change and the special bond between a child and her parent.
