Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, unanswerable questions that make you pause and think. It is a perfect choice for moments of quiet transition, like moving from the curiosity of the preschool years into the deeper reflections of early elementary school. The story follows a young boy who asks his grandmother what love is. When she tells him he must go out and see for himself, he embarks on a poetic journey where he meets a fisherman, an actor, a cat, and others, each offering a different perspective based on their own lives. It beautifully illustrates that love is not a single definition but a living, breathing experience found in our actions and our connections to the world. It is a gentle, lyrical tool for helping children understand that their feelings are valid and that everyone experiences the world in their own unique way.
