“Love – it’s an abstract emotion, right? Not even close. These pictures and words describe a zillion ways to think of love . . . For readers, this book is a lifelong challenge to ask: What is love? And how can we create more of it in what we think and do and say?”—Justine Kenin, producer, All Things Considered, in NPR’s Book Concierge Guide to 2018’s Great Reads
