"The book has great word choices, such as fearsome and fierce, but more importantly it beautifully captures friendship and the importance of conveying love. The story could be used to teach SEL and help children better articulate and understand their emotions. The illustrations in muted, smudgy pastels are calming and relatable. VERDICT A thoughtful, reasonable approach to the broad definitions of love and how to show it, this book meets children where they are and coaxes understanding."-Tracey Hodges, School Library Journal
"A genuine conversation about love and expressing it. A comforting support of the right to make love-related decisions; softness in a slightly sad world." --Kirkus Reviews
