LOVE by Stacy McAnulty and
Joanne Lew-Vriethoff

Stacy McAnulty really knows how to tug at your heartstrings no matter what age group she’s writing for.  You remember Stacy, right?

She wrote Beautiful a couple years ago:

Reminding us that there is no one definition of beauty.

And now for Valentine’s Day they’ve teamed up again and written: Love. It’s so so so ADORBS. I can’t stand how adorable it is! The text is so easy to understand that even the youngest reader will understand what Love is: giving food to your dog or bringing flowers to someone in bed. Get it. It’s so beautiful. And the ILLUSTRATIONS?? People of every size or shape or representation are included. I feel seen.

You know what? Love could totally qualify for the Diversity Reading Challenge.
