M.A.D.L.Y.: Mom and Dad Love You Hardcover – January 1, 2000 by Sally North (Author), Melissa Weisman (Illustrator)
 
Do your kids know you love them?
Oh, no!
Bobby the bear has gotten a bad grade in school. Surely his parents will be angry. What should he do? Hide the report card under his bed of course. It isn't long before Bobby's mother discovers his secret, however, but instead of being angry, she gives him a coin to keep in his pocket. On the coin is one word - M.A.D.L.Y.
Then she tells him a secret. "When you have a poor day or your friend treat you bad; if you have lots of homework or feel kind of sad; wherever you are, whatever you do, remember...M.A.D.L.Y. means 'Mom and Dad Love You!'"
In a world where children face ever-increasing challenges and stresses, it is all the more important that they never forget the simple fact that their mom and dad love them regardless of what happens.
