 Love is in the Little Things by Stella J. Jones

This sweet story of the friendship between a child and a bear is a celebration of all the ways we show our love to the important people in our lives.(goodreads summary)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In this sweet story about friendship, a young child and bear show that everyday small things can have a meaningful impact.  Love is in the little things such as; a heartfelt hug, playing games together to cheery songs or even helping to chase a dream.  So many examples of more than just friendship but what makes someone feel loved.  The text is simple and flows in a soft rhythmic way.  The illustrations are in watercolor and the characters kindness adds to the gentle feeling to each page. It is a wonderful way to experience love with your little ones cuddling up and reading this book together. A great bedtime read to help wind down everyone after celebrating Valentine's Day.  I think this is a "just right book" for ages 2-6.~
