About This Book
When your child starts asking big, abstract questions like 'What is love?', this book provides gentle, accessible answers. It explores the concept of love not as one single feeling, but as a collection of everyday actions, moments, and connections. Through simple prose and warm examples, it illustrates family bonds, the joy of friendship, and the power of simple kindness. This book is a perfect conversation starter for preschoolers and early elementary kids, helping to build their emotional vocabulary and reassure them of their secure place in the world.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The approach is secular and universally accessible. It does not touch on heavy topics like loss or conflict, focusing exclusively on the positive and affirming aspects of love. The resolution is one of comfort and understanding.
Ideal Reader
A 4 to 6 year old who is beginning to ask abstract questions about emotions. It is perfect for a child seeking reassurance about their family's love, or for a parent looking to build a child's vocabulary for expressing affection and kindness.
Parent Prep
No advance preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. A parent should be ready for the conversation to continue after the last page, perhaps by sharing personal examples of how they feel and show love for the child. The child directly asks "What is love?" or "What does 'I love you' mean?". This book is also helpful after a minor conflict, when a parent wants to reaffirm their unconditional love.
