Something About Me and My Book:: I Love You More was an answer to a prayer--so I've always believed that it is meant to be in the world in a big way. Self-published we sold 179,000 copies and had the honor of making it into John Kremer's Self-Publishing Hall of Fame! In 2007 we partnered with Sourcebooks and they helped us land on the New York Times Bestsellers List 3 times--so far ;-) We're at 250,000 copies and climbing along with foreign editions being published in Korea and Israel.

I Love You More (ILYM) is a flip-sided book, meaning it starts from both sides and reads to the middle-like love it never ends and it represents the 2 sides of love-the giving and receiving. Though it is a children's picture book people buy it for loved ones of all ages.

Written by me--Laura Duksta and illustrated by my friend Karen Keesler, together we call ourselves Hippie and The Bald Chick.
You can find out more about us at www.HippieandTheBaldChick.com
or at http://groups.to/iloveyoumore on Facebook.

ILYM is the 1st children's picture book to be published by a major publisher in digital format and the board book version is available this Fall 2009.

We've been featured in USA Today, AOL Online, EPregnancy, Pregnancy Mag Buyers Guide, featured in Boca Magazine as 2 people under the age of 40 Making a difference in South Florida and more as well as on/in countless radio programs and blogs. ILYM was a Winter booksense pick, has won an iparenting media award, the DYI Festival Best Children's book in the US and London, I Shine also took top honors of Best Publisher at the DIY Festival in 2003, etc :-)

My next book is scheduled for a 2010 release with Sourcebooks.

Thank you Laura! I am so glad you had a chance to listen to the music and enjoyed it. That means the world to me. . .It was a blast composing songs that reflected the personality of Allister and Henry. Thank you for all of your encouragement!

There is a pool of Love . . .
that holds all things that are in existence . . .
this pool’s waters are so pure . . .
it washes away illusions . . .
of time and space . . .
. . . with this being said,
what is there to know ? . . .
for even knowledge bows ! . . .
. . . to honor love. . .
