Synopsis

FOR VALENTINE’S DAY...FOR EVERY DAY

The most complex of emotions is explored in stunning photographs that will melt hearts. The many sides of love are shown through captured moments—pets and pals and parents; giggles, tears, and surprise; a leap across a field; a hug when one needs it. Simple poetic captions give readers starting places to think and talk about the people and the things they love—and examine its many meanings. Poignant and joyful, tender and true, Shelley Rotner and Deborah Carlin present this most intimate of emotions in all its wondrous ways.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 3—An emotion that means different things to different people is displayed through lovely black-and-white photographs of families, children, animals, and nature. The authors have taken care to show children and adults of different races in a variety of settings. Red type on the cover is repeated along with spare text that accompanies each illustration. This book will generate much discussion when shared as a read-aloud; it will also serve as a springboard for creative writing. While many titles on this topic are silly or overly sweet, this one is respectful and thought-provoking.—Nancy Baumann, Indian Paintbrush Elementary, Laramie, WY
