Love Is a Big Feeling

Love is everywhere… open your eyes! Award-winning photographer Shelley Rotner captures the joy that arises when we embrace our feelings, and our friends, in this warmhearted picture book.

Choose love.
Feel it…
Say it out loud…
I LOVE YOU.

There are many ways to show love: with a smile, a hug, or a helping hand. There are even more ways to FEEL love, like spending time with friends and family, reading a story, or climbing a tree. When you open your heart, love is everywhere. Let it in! Let it show!

Big feelings meet simple text in this cheerful celebration of love in all its forms. National Geographic photographer Shelley Rotner pairs accessible language with her signature upbeat portrait photography to capture the joy of self-expression and encourage kids to share their love with the  world around them.
Shelley Rotner is the author and photo-illustrator of more than thirty books, including the Hello Seasons! series and Families. Her collaborations with Sheila M. Kelly include Shades of People, an ALA Notable Children's Book, and her solo work includes Colors, which received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews. Rotner's photography has appeared in Time, National Geographic, Food and Wine, and many other publications. She lives in Northampton, MA.
