Synopsis
'I'll always love you no matter what ...' 'No matter what?' Small asks. But what if Small turns into a bug, or a crocodile, or even a grizzly bear?
Small has all sorts of questions about love, and Large must reassure this little fox that their love will never, ever run out - no matter what. A heartfelt story about the unconditional love each parent feels for their child, beautifully told and exquisitely illustrated by Kate Greenaway-shortlisted Debi Gliori and repackaged for a new generation to enjoy.

Reviews
Lizi
An absolutely gorgeous book! Small is feeling grumpy and dark and feels like nobody really loves them at all. No Matter What follows as Large explains that they'll always love Small; it doesn't matter what Small is, or does.
No Matter What is a heartwarming book; it's genderless - so great for any small person and any parent/carer set up - the illustrations are engaging and the story is in a lovely, gentle rhyme scheme. It's a great addition to any bookshelf - and one that I'll be buying as gifts for definite!
