You are loved when you win the race.
You are loved when you don’t.
You are loved when you brush your teeth.
You are loved when you won’t.
Exploring all the reasons we love, this picture book is a smile, a kiss and a giant hug all at once. It’s a book for bedtimes and snuggles. Debut author Liv Downing has penned a beautiful rhyming song of love in this picture book. It’s beautiful and heart-warming and all things you want in a book for kids.
Mel Matthews also brings the love to the pages with her stunning illustrations. Colour bursts with every turn, and the funky characters and their friends fill the pages with joy. Picture book size but made with board, this beauty also features die cuts on every page. Starting with a heart at the beginning, pieces are peeled away and rebuilt to make a heart again at the end.
At the back of the book, there is also an eight-step meditation for the kids to try. It’s simple, calming and a beautiful exercise to do together.
Feel the love with You are Loved.
