What is love? Can you only express it in fancy meals, greeting cards, and heart-shaped chocolates? Kids will find love everywhere in this delightful book. It can be found in everyday moments such as baking cookies with grandma, notes from Mom in your lunchbox, or a family singing together on a car trip, and it isn't always what you expect!
With delightful illustrations by Joanne Lew-Vriethoff and sweetly simple prose by award-winning author Stacy McAnulty, thisis the perfect book to teach children what love means, why it's important, and how they can spread the love in their daily lives.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a companion to Beautiful and Brave, McAnulty describes how love can be expressed through simple, genuine gestures and time spent together, using the prompt, "Love is." Lew-Vriethoff illustrates a variously diverse group of smiling children and adults. A brown-skinned child with pigtails brings a bowl of food to a dog wearing a cast: "Love is... a fancy dinner." Elsewhere, two children communicate via sign language from their adjacent balconies ("Love deserves to be shouted from the rooftops"), and a family welcomes an adopted sibling: "Love happens at first sight." Finally, all of the characters enjoy a festive nighttime gathering, celebrating under the soft glow of string lights. A sweet depiction of the love that connects family and community. Ages 3 up.
