The Ways We Say "I Love You"
About this ebook
Even when it's not said out loud,
if you listen closely you can hear an ''I love you.''
For some families, saying ''I love you'' comes out easily. For others, they show ''I love you'' in other caring ways. Author-illustrator Caroline Hadilaksono's sweet story explores the many thoughtful ways we show our love to each other, whether it's spending time together or hidden in a question like ''have you eaten yet?''
With bright strokes of color and perfect read-aloud text, Caroline crafts a tender ode to familial love in its many beautiful forms. Following various multicultural families, each spread shows a self-contained love story. Even if we don't say the words out loud, if you listen closely, you can hear an ''I love you'' in the acts of care and love.
