Perfect for fans of Corinna Luyken and Matt de la Peña.Listen. Do you hear it?Hidden up in the storm clouds, stored up and waiting. It's time for a celebration.Love is here.Told through poetic and lyrical text and accompanied by lush watercolor illustrations, a child takes a magical journey in search of love, only to find that it lived everywhere, in everything, even in one's own backyard. A celebration of the interconnectedness of our lives and proof that love is all around you--if you look closely enough for it. Even when the world feels darkest, love is here. Perfect for those looking to teach kindness and empathy to little ones.Praise for Love is Here:*"Readers are gifted with spectacular double-page spreads of bold watercolor and gouache illustrations that capture the mystery, grandeur, and immensity of love. Many picture books have been written about the subject matter, but this one elegantly treads familiar grounds. " --Kirkus reviews (starred review)"Vibrant watercolor and gouache scenes make up author-illustrator Malbrough’s poetic paean . . . a chance to see how wonder can be shared—a fitting conclusion to this ebullient book." --Publishers WeeklyFrom School Library JournalGr 1-3-Where is love? All around, of course! Told through lyrical text, readers will discover that love is everywhere, even when it cannot be seen. Malbrough takes readers on a journey that begins with a raindrop and ends in our solar system. The rhythm of the text matches the movements portrayed in the illustrations that add to the adventurous undertone of the book. While the journey through the pictures is enjoyable, the book itself lacks overall cohesiveness. The mixture between real life and imagination ends with the introduction of a new character in a way that seems abrupt. The main character is depicted as Black and the secondary character appears to be of Asian descent. VERDICT An optional purchase for libraries, where books that take on the big questions are in short supply.-Katherine Forsmanα(c) Copyright 2011.
