WHERE IS LOVE?

BLURB:
While
walking in the garden one day, Annie, a curious little ant from Hillsville,
meets a single poppy flower called Love. They become instant friends, sharing
stories, laughing and talking for hours on end. Then one autumn day Annie goes
to visit Love, but Love is not there. Remembering the rhyme that Love told her,
she sets off on an adventure to find Love.
Love
is with you every day.
Love
is never far away.
Go
search, go find and then you’ll see
All
the places Love can be.
But
don’t forget to look within
For
often, that’s where Love begins.
May
Annie’s story inspire anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved being, to
look and perhaps still find them within their lives and within themselves.

Our Thoughts:
Annie, the curious little ant, befriends a flower named Love
We get to watch them grow together, tell tall tales, and generally play together
Over time their friendship grows but so does Love
Slowly her petals begin to fall and eventually Love is no longer to be found
Annie is upset and thinks to look for her to no avail
Over time and with a little help from words Love bestowed on her Annie realizes that Love is still with her just in a different way
This was a sweet story that explains on a young reader's level the process of aging and loss
Beautifully illustrated pictures help reinforce the storyline and captivate the reader
The story is written in rhyme, which we all know just increases the reading pleasure :)
The story crafted a solid foundation for discussing aging and loss and the concept that those we love are never really gone. We still hold them in our hearts and our memories.
