What is love, and how can we convey that to the young people in our lives? Author Todd Tarpley answers that question here through a variety of family scenarios, told in soothing verse. “Love is the patter of ten little toes as the first light of day trickles in,” says one spread; “Love is a puddle with you in the middle. Love is a laugh in the rain,” offers another. The families shown are diverse in racial/ethnic identities and family types, including a family with two dads. Other children are shown with grandparents or a single parent. In the last spread, all of the families are gathered at a park, a celebration of love in community.
Sweet and lovely.
