About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Following the classic fable tradition, author Carol Lynn Pearson and illustrator Kathleen Peterson present this lifelong love story--one that transcends the bonds of illness, age, unemployment, and more. As it poetically chronicles the stages of one couple's relationship and their ever-expanding knowledge of what it means to love, What Love Is becomes the blueprint for any relationship.

From the Back Cover:

As she looked at him looking at her, his eyes were moist and his voice was soft as he promised to be true forever-- And she thought, "Now I know what love is."
