NEW RELEASE
Before I Knew You,
I Loved You
Written by: Constance Latimore Dawkins
This book is a love letter from anyone who cares for a child. It is inclusive of those who long to have children, serve as mentors or nurturers.
Whimsical, bold, and bright illustrations by Sherri Love capture the personalities of the characters. Each scene captures the purity yet inquisitiveness of childhood.
In this love letter, Constance Latimore Dawkins aims to remind you of God’s hand in our creation. God makes no mistakes. He has assigned us all a unique purpose.

Hi! I’m Sherri Love. This is my first time illustrating a children’s book. I hope you get as much joy out of reading this book as I’ve had illustrating it. My illustrations reflect my love of nature along with the imagination of life itself. I grew up in Soperton, Georgia. I later graduated from the Atlanta College of Art, now SCAD, in Atlanta, GA. I have a 16-year-old daughter, Charli, who inspires me in every possible way. We’re making our way back to our roots in GA, after having lived in Providence, RI for 16 years.

Love it! In the current world of me, me, me, and rejection of God all around us, this is the message kids need to hear. Matthew 25:23

Before I Knew You, I Loved You is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated children’s book that succinctly yet powerfully communicates an essential and endearing Christian principle that God has a unique and defined purpose for our life that we must realize, embrace, and activate.
