“Award-winning author/illustrator Salina Yoon's bold, full-page illustrations provide the perfect backdrop for this sweet story about finding love. So many forms of love being shared and realized are discovered throughout the book. It is on the long side for a board book, so more appropriate for a child who has developed an attention span for stories, but so cute as to be easily enjoyed again and again.”
