PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This volume examines the many definitions of love in unevenly rhyming text, Randall describes helping elders, giving presents, and forgiving slights, among other kind acts. The rhymes can feel a touch simple: "We often show our love with touch,/ like a great big hug or kiss./ But there are lots of ways to show you care,/ and ideas not to miss." Still, Randall's joyful heart-spangled scenes, featuring wide-eyed figures, exude warmth, syncing with the story best when celebrating inclusivity: a spread upon which a large, diverse group of people hold hands reads, "We're all wonderfully different,/ and come in many colors and sizes./ If we love each other just as we are,/ just watch how everyone rises." Attentive readers will notice a subtle visual message of paying kindness forward a worthy one, despite the book's greeting-card tone. Ages 3 7.
