LOVE by Corrinne Averiss
Funny, emotional and uplifting picture book about separation and love, to help children understand their emotions. Everyone loves everyone in Tess’s house, but when Tess has to leave for school for the very first time, she is worried that her family’s love might not stretch that far. Mum explains that love is like a string, it connects people together even when they are far away. At school Tess notices that all the children have strings! Some are new, some are old, some stretch a long way, and some even stretch right up into the sky. But what happens when a string breaks? Love is the third in a trio of feel-good picture books from author Corrinne Averiss (Joy (2018), Hope (2019)) - a pure delight from start to finish. A wonderful story that subtly tackles difficult topics of death, grief, separation and overcoming anxiety.‘This heartwarming tale is also a timely reminder of how love connects us all, no matter how far apart we might be.' -- LittleLibraryOwl
‘The most touching portrayal of love I’ve ever seen.’ -- RaisingSmallReaders
'Another tenderly written tale from Corrinne Averiss.' -- BookGiftBlogger
