From award-winning author Stacy McAnulty comes a sweet story about love and what it's really all about.
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, this is the perfect book to teach children what love means, why it's important, and how they can spread the love in their daily lives.

Stacy McAnulty is the author of Mr. Fuzz Buster Knows He's the Favorite, 101 Reasons Why I'm Not Taking a Bath, Excellent Ed, Beautiful, and Brave. She lives in Kernersville, NC, with her family.
Joanne Lew-Vriethoff is the award-winning illustrator of Beautiful and Brave, as well as such books as Another Day as Emily, The Dancing Pancake, and Peace, Baby! She lives in Amsterdam with her family.
PreS-Gr 2-The team who produced Brave and Beautiful now presents demonstrations of love. The text and line drawings interact playfully. A "fancy dinner" is a bowl of dog food decorated with a flower, being presented to a glum pup with a leg cast. "Special presents" include a flower tiara, book, cookies, and a handmade drawing. The sounds of love are also celebrated at the shore, and drawing love messages on a wintered window. Pets, a new baby, and an adopted sister illustrate love at first sight. The book's love is also defined in sign language and a Skype visit with a military mom. A nighttime celebration completes with tale with a trio of children drawing hearts in the sky with sparklers. Lew-Vriethoff masterfully mixes cultures in her lushly hued scenes. VERDICT Despite its sometimes abstract similes, this uplifting book looks at the myriad ways that love is expressed and shared in a child's world.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VAα(c) Copyright 2011.
