L Is for Love
What's L Is for Love About
The creators of the award-winning Baby Goes to Market follow the family at dawn through the lively streets of Lagos, where they are selling lemons–and learning the letter L. L is for Lemons.L is for Lucky.L is for . . . LOVE. L is for lemons, and L is for lingering before leaving home. L is for everything to look at along the way: lightning and lazy lions and a lonely leopard. L is for the loud, large city where you will sell your sunny fruit–L is for Lagos! L is for the light streaming out of your windows as you arrive home late at night. And best of all . . . L is for love. Part buoyant alphabet book, encouraging toddlers’ first sounds and words, and part immersion in the joyful bustle of a busy Nigerian marketplace, this outing from Atinuke and Angela Brooksbank is a feast for the senses brimming with rich detail and visual humor.
