How Big is Love

authors: Emma Dodd

Picture book – Ages 2 - 5 years

 

“Before you came I did not know just how big love can be. Love’s wider than the ocean, it’s deeper than the sea.”

Does love have a size? A family of ducks celebrates the boundless affection between them in Emma Dodd’s gentle rhyming ode to unconditional love.

The 411:

I thought this book was so cute! I loved it and read it to my 15 year old because it is something I wished I had been around when my daughter was little. 

I loved the message about a parent or even caregiver's love for a child and how it will always be there and there is nothing that can be compared to it. The love you have for your child is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the ocean. It is all those things and the illustrations of a duck with it's babies made the book perfect for little eyes. My class loved the ducks and the accent gold touches on many of the pages. 

Truly a sweet book and the perfect gift for new parents.
