Indexing List Type field in a GraphQL type from within a Query

Say I have the following GraphQL Schema
query
allAuthors: [Author]
type Author
id: ID!
name: String!
books: [Book]
type Book
id: ID!
name: String!
author: Author!
Now I can successfully run the following query to get all the authors and their associated books
query
allAuthors
name,
books
name
However, if I only want to get the first three books for all authors, how would I go about doing something like that? Can we index the books field in the Author type from within a query? If so, how?
I tried something like this and it doesn't work
query
allAuthors
name,
books[3]
name

GraphQL doesn't have syntax for this.
You can add a "limit" parameter to a field, and this is common enough:
type Query
allAuthors(limit: Int, offset: Int): [Author!]!
type Author
id: ID!
name: String!
books(limit: Int, offset: Int): [Book!]!
If you add parameters like this to the schema, then the query you want (for all authors, get the first three books) could look like
allAuthors
name
books(limit: 3)
name
