Love may feel proud like a peacock, on display for the world to see . . . But it may also sing a softer song that goes unheard to those who are not listening.
There are many ways that we can feel and give love. Told through a collection of beautiful animal similes, Love Is... looks at love in all its beauty. Sublime illustrations explore themes such as self-love, a parent's love for a new baby, the bond between siblings, friendship, fighting for what you believe in and missing someone who's no longer there.
Following on from Sarah Maycock's award-winning Sometimes I Feel..., this picture book perfectly captures the many facets of love in just a few swoops of ink.
