Lisa Fuller (text), and Samantha Campbell (illustrator), big, big love, Magabala Books, April 2024, 32 pp., RRP $27.99 (hbk), ISBN 9781921248962
What could be closer to a parent’s heart than their love for their kids? So how to express that love through language to a very young child?
A picture book can be a good starting point for discussion between parent and child: Love can be as large as a whale or giraffe, as fierce as a lion or as gentle as a calf. Using natural world analogies, the author emphasizes its all-pervasiveness; something that can’t be measured or quantified.
Dagoman artist Samantha Campbell’s soft, gentle illustrations provide a lovely support for Murri writer, Lisa Fuller’s timeless narrative about the power of parental love.
A great guide to help a child understand their parent’s love and constancy as they change, grow and learn.
Suitable 3+.
