Lots of Love would be a great addition (or substituion) to the Valentine’s candy! This book celebrates living a life of love through colorful illustrations and easy rhyme. But this one will be read long after all the chocolate is gone because it teaches the enduring concept of showing love. The board book follows one little girl as she experiences and shares love throughout her day — from an early morning wake-up, to the activities of school, to family interactions and the acknowledgment of God’s love for her. I liked this book and am eager to share it with my little friends. A book that goes beyond a holiday, I recommend Lots of Love!
