I Really Love You, Ava
About The Book
What is real love? Little Ava Jacobs is dying to find the answer to this
seemingly simple question. Through a mother's patience, grandparents'
joy, and a couple's kindness, Ava finds the meaning of real love.
Author, Amberly (Krissy) Clowe contacted LadyD Books in regards to reviewing her recently released picture book, I Really Love You, Ava. Naturally, since I have a sweet granddaughter (yes, and 4 wonderful grandsons, too)... well, I said yes! The warm title of the book grabbed my heart right away and I was anxious to discover what was inside!
I love when books open with a question and indeed, a little girl named Ava has a simple yearning, yet complex desire in her search to find what real love is. Being a grandmother of 5, for me this well written story hits home for every child's security and self-esteem issues and that is to recognize what love looks like and to process in their own way what love feels like. With the warm reflection of care and hope on the face of Ava's mother, she answers her daughter's question, "Sweetie, when you see it, you'll know." A most needed heart-felt message in today's world, along with warm illustrations about Ava Grace and her wonderful family life makes a great addition for home, school and church library.My Thoughts
My Review
5/5 stars. Highly recommend.
