Description ▶ The Little History of I Love You Through and Through, a Book That Has Grown Up Alongside Our Children For the past 15 years, I Love You Through and Through has captured hearts everywhere. Right after its release, it climbed to the top of the bestseller lists for children's books at major online and offline bookstores, and for years afterward it was named the #1 annual bestseller in the children's book category. Even 15 years later, it continues to rank among the top titles in its field—a true bestseller-turned-steady-seller. This remarkable longevity has drawn steady media attention over the years. "Ten years is the time it takes for a newborn to become a third grader. There are children's books that have been steadily loved throughout that time. JoongAng Ilbo, together with Kyobo Book Centre and YES24, has selected the top cumulative bestsellers in the children's book category over the past decade... (...) They say 'no power lasts ten years,' but for children's books, older titles have proven to be the best titles. (...) The book that ranked #1 at both Kyobo Book Centre and YES24 simultaneously was I Love You Through and Through." — JoongAng Ilbo (April 19, 2014) "What children's book has been loved the most over the past decade? Kyobo Book Centre tallied cumulative sales of children's books from April 2010 to March 2020, and I Love You Through and Through came out on top." — The Hankyoreh (May 1, 2020) In addition, numerous media outlets—including The Kyunghyang Shinmun (May 2, 2014), Maeil Business Newspaper (January 13, 2016), Yonhap News (May 3, 2016), TBS News (May 3, 2016), and Munhwa Ilbo (June 28, 2019)—have repeatedly reported, over the years, that I Love You Through and Through has held the #1 spot among cumulative bestsellers in the children's book category over the past decade. I Love You Through and Through has also made timely appearances on television, in variety shows and dramas. It first appeared in 2008 on MBC's variety show We Got Married, when 'Alex' read it to 'Sinae,' and later appeared in the 2010 MBC drama Queen of Reversals, the 2015 SBS drama I Have a Lover, and the 2021 KBS drama No Matter What—each time serving perfectly as a 'messenger of love' fitting the scene. The book has also been used as a 'taedam' (a gentle talk expectant parents share with their unborn baby) and as a way for adult couples to express their love to one another, continually expanding its role and cementing its place as a true 'national picture book.' ▶ "From your head to your toes, I will love you forever." As its title suggests, I Love You Through and Through is a book where the words "I love you, I love you" appear again and again like a gentle refrain. It may seem simple, without a clear storyline, but its concise, direct, and heartfelt message of love only deepens the emotional connection readers feel. The text—capturing both a child's outward charm and inner feelings, both emotion and action—is as concise, compact, and rhythmic as a poem, yet remarkably specific and direct, giving it both a unique charm and an immediate emotional impact. The Korean translation, by poet Shin Hyung-geon, beautifully preserves the meaning of the original while flowing naturally in the rhythm and feel of the Korean language, which has helped it resonate warmly with readers here. Above all, I Love You Through and Through shines thanks to the irresistibly perfect baby character created by Caroline Jayne Church. From the moment you see the adorable baby hugging a teddy bear on the cover, you're captivated—and once you open the book, the lively, endearing baby practically leaps off the page, impossible not to love. Watching this baby—loved "from head to toe, down to the depths of the heart, forever and ever"—readers are reminded of their own precious little ones, and once again feel that deep, warm bond of love.
