What’s It About
Follow life through the eyes of real people. Learn that the lull of your parent’s voice is love. As one grows the sound of summer sprinklers and loud laughter of children is love. When love seems lost and you are searching for it at any age, it is there. It will find you. In the simple moments, with loved ones and even in the hardest of times, love is there, growing like a garden, waiting for you to bask in its beauty. The words of Matt De La Pena bring out the big meaning to this incredible feeling. The pictures place each child in every scene. Each one being relatable to all families across the world.
Showering your children in love is what every parent wants to do. This book helps explain love to a child and is a gentle reminder to us parents. It is the time we spend rather than what we spend that matters most to our children. Love is the most powerful feeling and triumphs over everything, including fear.
