thestoriesweread -- The story behind this book is one that will tug at your heart (which I’ll get into). But first, the story itself. A great pick for an early holiday gift for the hardworking dad in your life, “I Love You Like...” features a loving grasshopper father and his son, who wants to know exactly how much daddy loves him. The grasshopper dad finds a funny way to put all that love into words (scroll for some examples). . Scott Sutton and Alec Traub are longtime friends who live across the country from one another. One day Scott joked to his friend that he missed him more than the grasshopper misses grass... and hopping. They went back and forth like this for years and had the thought to one day turn them all into a book. Some day. Then, in 2016, with a wife and 2 year old son at home, Scott was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroendocrine cancer. The friends decided to turn their idea for a book into a children’s book dedicated to Scott’s son. They did a fantastic job and it is now available for purchase on Amazon. I’ll link it in my stories as well as add a link to an article that goes more in depth into the backstory for those interested in reading. . Special thanks to Scott’s wife for reaching out to me. Will be keeping you all in my prayers ❤️
