Product Description

Author Mun Th Vn and Stonewall Book Award-winning artist Jessica Love detail all the big and small reasons why we love the people we do within a call-and-response picture book that features families across the spectrum.

I love you because you tell the best stories.
Because I love you, my best story is you.

What are all the big and small reasons why we love the people we do? And what does it look like when we voice it out loud?

To be read aloud by one or even two people, this affirming prose demonstrates that love is a dialogue. Love is complex. Love is utterly simple.

This is what love looks like.

What is love? This compelling title attempts to capture many different expressions of love, a topic of much discussion in children's literature. Each spread features a short dialogue declaring the ways that love is expressed and how it changes a person for the better. On one spread two parents hear their toddler, who has just drawn all over the walls of their house, say "I love you because you let me make mistakes." The opposite page shows the trio turning the scribbles into a wall of art: "Because I love you, no mistake is ever too great." "I love you because you see what others miss" becomes an even more powerful, "Because I love you, I see more than before." The diversity of the characters and the expressions of love provide multiple opportunities for children to find themselves reflected in these pages. This title would also make a wonderful writing prompt for children and even preteens to share their own experiences of love and how it has transformed their lives. Love's illustrations, in acrylic ink, watercolor and gouache, are brimming with emotion, capturing Van's lyrical language but enhancing it, and welcoming all. The effect, across the pages, is ever expansive, like a peony blossom unfolding.

Review

"Beautifully written and illustrated, this title presents and grows the concept of love in so many ways that it cannot fail to inspire children to assess the ways they share love and are affected by it." School Library Journal (starred review)

In this call-and-response celebration of loves power to grow and endure, individuals in inclusive pairs tell the other what their bond means to them. All are drawn with grace and humor. Throughout, words and images testify to acceptance, joy, and intimacy over time, and they are worth visiting again and again. Publishers Weekly

"Love is what makes the world go round. Tender and emotive... the book gently teases out the relationship between love and various qualities like playfulness, emotional strength, forgiveness, courage, and loyalty. An inclusive, affirming, warmhearted book with lots to love." Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Julián is a Mermaid: "This is Jessica Loves debut picture book, and every choice she makes the spare text, a color palette both muted and lively, full-bleed pages that make even subway cars and apartment rooms feel as expansive as the ocean imbues the story with charm, tenderness and humor...Alongside Julián, readers learn that anyone can be a mermaid: All it takes is love and acceptance, a little imagination and a big swishy tail." New York Times Book Review

"Love couples the spare narrative with vivid, imaginative, and breathtaking illustrations. A heartwarming must-have for one-on-one and small group sharing." School Library Journal (starred review)

"Refreshingly, Spanish words aren't italicized. Though it could easily feel preachy, this charmingly subversive tale instead offers a simple yet powerful story of the importance of being seen and affirmed." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[Julian] is, in a word, fabulous. Love lets an anxious beat pass before Abuela ta
