ABOUT THE STORY

LOVE is a story about the strongest bond there is and the diverse and powerful ways it connects us all. Illustrated by Loren Long, LOVE depicts the many ways we experience this universal bond, which carries us from the day we are born throughout the years of our childhood and beyond. With a lyrical text that’s soothing and inspiring, this tender tale is a needed comfort and a new classic that will resonate with readers of every age.
