Love Is a Shape

By Kate Hoefler

Celebrate family and the many forms love can take in this timeless picture book--a perfect gift for any occasion.

Square is a dock.
Wavy is a lake.
Love is the shape of the stories we make.

There are many ways love takes up shape in our lives. In moments big and small, follow one family as they express their love in different ways, from sharing a sweet treat with grandma to celebrate a birthday, to offering a hug and bandaging a sibling's scrape when they fall down.

With gentle, rhyming text and cozy illustrations, here is a tribute to the multitude of ways we care for one another, and a reminder to the ones we hold dearest just how loved they are.
