Praise for Love is Here:
*"Readers are gifted with spectacular double-page spreads of bold watercolor and gouache illustrations that capture the mystery, grandeur, and immensity of love. Many picture books have been written about the subject matter, but this one elegantly treads familiar grounds. " --Kirkus reviews (starred review)
"Vibrant watercolor and gouache scenes make up author-illustrator Malbrough’s poetic paean . . . a chance to see how wonder can be shared—a fitting conclusion to this ebullient book." --Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vibrant watercolor and gouache scenes make up author-illustrator Malbrough's poetic paean, which features a brown-skinned child, dark curls escaping the hood of a yellow coat, experiencing the majesty of the natural world. Love infuses everything, the child discovers—from a drenching rainstorm to a flower emerging out of parched soil and beyond, to the mysteries of the universe. "Can love be more amazing than this?" gushes the oft-abstract text, accompanying an effervescent ocean scene. Later, the child follows a string of glowing red butterflies to the moon, discovering an inky galaxy: "And even beneath the blinking/ stars, love gazes back.// Do you see it?" When the protagonist comes face-to-face with a lighter-skinned child, it's a chance to see how wonder can be shared—a fitting conclusion to this ebullient book. Ages 4–8.
