# Love Is a Story - Board Book

by **Todd Tarpley** (Author), **Sophie Leu** (Illustrator)

_Love is the patter_  
_of ten little toes_  
_as the first light_  
_of day trickles in._

Follow parents, grandparents, and a wide array of kids throughout all the seasons as they learn about the meaning of love. Love can be the way your smile starts to curve when a giggle is about to begin, a puddle with you in the middle, a story read with a flashlight, or a morning that bursts into color. This is a sweet and reassuring story that resonates with kids and adults.

Author Todd Tarpley's joyful celebration of everyday expressions of love is matched perfectly by Leu's cozy, inviting art.
