What Is Love? is a tender, funny, and deeply thoughtful picture book that explores one of life’s biggest questions—through a child’s eyes.
When a young boy asks his grandmother what love is, she encourages him to find the answer himself. As he journeys through the world, he hears many ideas—from fishermen, actors, and strangers along the way—but none feel quite right. Is love a fish? Applause? The night sky? Or is it something closer, quieter, and more familiar?
With warm humor and exquisite illustrations, this modern fable invites readers of all ages to reflect on love, identity, and connection. It’s a story that meets children where they are while offering layers of meaning adults will appreciate, making it a true read-aloud treasure.
