McBratney once called Guess How Much I Love You "a lighthearted little story designed to help a big one and a wee one enjoy the pleasure of being together."

With illustrations by Anita Jeram, Guess How Much I Love You was published in 1994. McBratney died at his home in County Antrim, Northern Ireland surrounded by family on September 18, according to his publisher, Walker Books. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
