The disarmingly simple text goes straight to the heart of what love really is, whether it is the love of a parent for a child or a romantic love between two adults. Through thoughtful and fanciful questions Ashford explores what we risk when we ask for love and what special rewards may be waiting for us in return. Subdued watercolor illustrations perfectly capture the book's gentle tone and important message. The perfect book for any occasion when a gift of love is needed.
