Donald’s second book, the I LOVE YOU book of poetry for young children has exceeded all expectations. More than 1000 of the books have been sold in the first few weeks on Amazon! The book is perfect not just for children but for grandparents, parents and other members of the family and friends who wish to bond with the little ones. For Christmas, for birthdays and for Valentine’s Day!
The hardback book is suitable for older children whereas the new board book version is best for babies and toddlers.
It’s not difficult to see why the book has been such a hit. Shown here are a selection of the heartfelt reasons from reviewers :
“This book is sure to win awards and become THE coveted baby book; the first one you share with your child or grandchild. I loved reading this sweet treasure to my little ones and they looked up at me beaming, saying,'”I LOVE YOU” back to me! Such sweet moments were created in sharing this book. I hope Mr. Verger writes more children’s books. I own all the classics like Goodnight Moon and Guess How Much I Love you and this beats them all, hands down. It’s poignant and sweet and speaks to the child’s heart. What better gift to give your little one than “I Love YOU!”” – Heidi Ciampa
“”But it’s you I love most of all”… What a spectacular message to send to our children. We can never love our children enough & and this book supports just that! Way to go Verger- if a child feeling unconditionally loved & a reminder to parents how much we should be loving, embracing & reading to our children were the objectives, they were certainly accomplished! The photography is amazing, vivid and so real- I felt as if I was there! Well done… I know what I’m getting my son for Valentine’s Day.” – Mary Kerwin
“A beautiful book lovingly created by a gifted photographer. My daughter, who is learning to read, loves practicing with this book.” – Kara Douglas
“What a beautiful book with such a lovely message for children. My 4 year old loves the pictures and we really enjoy reading this this together. What a heartwarming book. And so happy to see the new board book version, which is wonderful for our new (destructive) baby!” – sj31
“This book was written for children. I think it is ageless. I wish I could have read it to my Grandmother but she is no longer with us. Beautiful words and beautiful pictures. Being a Grandmother myself I can see why the author was ‘inspired’ to write it. His love shines through every page. I have given my Grandchildren a copy. Hope when they are in their teen years they will still read it and understand how much I love them. Thank you Donald Verger.” – Junie Bug

We are delighted with the publication of the second edition of Donald’s most beloved books, Of Love and Sea Glass. It is one of the most popular books to gift with a 5 star rating on Amazon. There have been 90 reviews to date!
Here is a small selection of wonderful reviews from those who clearly treasure the book.
“I have two of these books… one for my home and other for my office where I do therapy/counseling. Clients love it, guests love it, and I love it!! Incredible color, designs, inspiring quotes!! Very creative and heart felt art! You will not be disappointed with this purchase, whether it be for yourself, or a gift for a friend, loved one, coworker, etc.”– sj31
“Soft, touchable, texture that has to be held in your hand and in your heart. This is what Don’s photography evokes. He lives his life in tune with nature and with an artist’s eye he captures beautiful images that will transport you to the exact spot he stood behind his camera. He inspires me daily with his beautiful calendars and I can’t wait to read the inspirational quotes he has paired with the beautiful sea glass.”– catiejan
“A small gem….just like a piece of sea glass. Beautiful and inspirational quotes with photos of sea glass, stone and flowers artistically laid out. Very sweet.” – AMK
“This lovely book was a Christmas gift from my daughter. Between the pages are beautiful images of sea glass, flowers and thought provoking words. I purchased and gave this book to a seriously ill friend, hoping to not only cheer her but to share the beauty found between the pages, beauty for the eye and words for reflection. She loves the book as much as I do. I return to it frequently and find delight each time. Well done, Mr. Verger, and thank you.” – Florence Wiley

Jenny Milchman introduced the world to Take Your Children to a Bookstore Day way back in 2010. The idea caught on and continues to grow with many stores joining in the effort to cultivate a love of reading in the young.
She encourages families to enjoy the day. She said, “On December 5th, 2015, take a child in your life to a bookstore. Watch his face light up as you give him free access, not just to a new book, but to tomorrow.”
I LOVE YOU – a Gift of Love and Poetry for children
Donald is looking forward to this special day! He will be at a local bookstore in Portland, Maine where this event will be held from 10 – 3.30 pm. The bookstore has “an amazing line-up of actors performing, and some of the most celebrated children’s authors and illustrators.”
The bookstore says “Every child who joins us at Longfellow Books can take home any title in the store (up to a $10 value) absolutely free!”
So if you are nearby, do come along and be part of bringing kids to the bookstore! This is a wonderful chance to share the love of reading and books with the children.
