Love Is a Story
Age range 3+
'Love is the patter
of ten little toes
as the first light
of day trickles in.'
Follow parents, grandparents, and a wide array of kids throughout all the seasons as they learn about the meaning of love. Love can be the way your smile starts to curve when a giggle is about to begin, a puddle with you in the middle, a story read with a flashlight, or a morning that bursts into colour. This is a sweet and reassuring story that resonates with kids and adults.
