PreS-Gr 1—A delightful meditation on love and community. The prose reads like a song, and the story is simple and universal. In elongated rhyming verse ("When your heart is heavy/And your step unsure/When the winds are wild/And your path unclear"), the narrator reassures readers of their steadfast love through even the darkest times, and shares with them the hope for a bright future. The narrative is accompanied by collage illustrations made with paper and print ephemera. Some spreads are filled with complex, multicolored, layered patterns and colors, while other return to minimalistic designs with only a few simple shapes. Each line of text is paired beautifully with an illustration and the pacing throughout is thoughtful and cumulative. On the final pages, the message, "For love wins," is accompanied by a line of people of varying ages, races, and religions holding hands. As the art builds to a joyful and bright finish, the book ends with the powerful and enduring words, "Love will never fail." VERDICT Useful as a soothing bedtime selection or as a short read-aloud. Perfect for sharing on Valentine's Day and every day. |
