life and smile.

Co-authored by sisters
Joan Dickow and Judy Snider, the idea of I
Love You, Be Careful started from a telephone conversation one day when the
sisters talked about wanting their loved ones to be safe and know how much they
are loved.
About
the Authors:
Judy Snider
lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia with her husband, Gil and two silly cats. She
is the author of the CWA award-winning children’s picture book, Goldy’s Baby Socks and one of a team of
authors who wrote, The Scared Purse.
“No matter
whether it was our grown kids, husbands or other loved ones our love and
concern for them inspired us to write this book,” states Judy Snider.
Joan Dickow
is a 20-year breast cancer survivor, a mother, grandmother, wife, friend and
sister. She finds that there is beauty all around her and all her good moments
and stressful moments inspire her. She lives in Berkley, Michigan with her
husband, Fred and their cat, Coffee. This is her first book and she is
currently working on her second picture book, The Porch Fairy.
Joan Dickow
stated, “Everyday moments in my life inspire me!”
I Love You, Be Careful makes you think
about all of the times that a loved one goes off to school, play or work, and
you say, “I Love You, Be Careful!" It opens discussion for children to
talk and ask questions, and each page presents a different 'be careful' moment
for the reader to contemplate. Lighthearted and sweet, this book would be a
lovely addition to any library. Cady B. Driver does the book’s beautiful
illustrations.
