Families can say ‘I love you’ in so many ways, and this tender, thoughtful picture book explores them all.
Perfectly targeted at youngsters, it starts with a daddy holding a baby close, ‘wrapping you up, as snug as a bug’, then shows toddlers with their grown-ups ‘listening carefully when you speak’ and ‘teaching you to put on your shoe’.
Children are depicted showing love for their friends too, playing, laughing, sharing hugs. It ends with a challenge to readers, ‘How will you say I love you today?’
It’s a particularly lovely book for families to share, full of scenes and activities that little children will recognise and with so much to look at and discuss. The families shown in the book are all shapes, sizes, and varieties and its inclusivity is another factor in its huge appeal.
'How do I say I love you? I tell you in so many ways. Holding you close when you are small . . .'
Read the full description
In this warm and cosy book, children grow and families have busy lives, but there is always time and just so many different ways to say 'I love you'. Love can be a word or a hug. It can be a shared experience or activity, a helping hand or a simple wave goodbye. This beautiful picture book shares the idea that love is expressed differently, by many different people but that it is also the thing that we all have in common.
A perfect introduction for children to the many languages of love. In Fiona Lee’s beautiful artwork, the characters glow with affection and warmth.
Depicts a wide range of diverse families and encourages conversations about different family make-ups.
'Filled with warmth, cosy charm and family togetherness, this beautiful picture book speaks loudly to little ones about the different ways a cross-section of people express their feelings of love, and at the same time reinforcing the notion that love is the one thing we all have in common. A book of love to share and treasure.' - Lancashire Post
