Book 287

Just a Little Love, by Mercer Mayer, Harper Book 2013.

It is not often that the preface of a children's book will make me tear up.  The preface to this book did, and, as wonderful as the text was in the story that followed, the best part of this book is the preface.

The story is simple:  Even when people love each other, things can go wrong.  And when things go wrong, people need just a little love (more).

The text, of course, is adorable and sweet and easy for a child to understand.  And the illustrations are all of that, and more.
