"Rebecca does an outstanding job portraying emotions in words to where you can't help but feel the love come off of every page! The illustrations really help complement the feelings and the message that love is love no matter who it comes from. This is a book that shows us that you can love anyone and that love is a powerful feeling that everyone should have and share. I seriously had to grab a tissue for my little princess. It is worth every penny and I have bought an extra copy for my niece to read and enjoy."
