Sometimes Love

Description

A tender, poetic picture book about a military family experiencing happiness, heartache, and learning to grow through change "Changes come and changes go. Love through changes makes love grow." When her mother is deployed overseas, a young girl is temporarily parted from her beloved dog. Told in spare yet lyrical verse, this picture book shares a powerful message about the different ways we show love, from giving, to growing together, to sometimes letting go. But don't worry, this pet story has a happy ending.

"[Sometimes Love] eloquently conveys a wide range of emotions and lessons through its spare prose and expressive...illustrations that seem to shimmer off the page... An important lesson for young readers conveyed poetically with lots of heart." - Kirkus "[A] wonderful book about love, loss, and reunion...Teaching children how to live with loss is an important lesson, and this offering accomplishes this task exceptionally well." - Booklist, starred review
