Mac Barnett and illustrated by Carson Ellis

A tender, funny tale celebrating all forms of love from award-winning and bestselling author-illustrator duo.

“What is love?” a young boy asks. “I can’t answer that,” his grandmother says, and so the boy goes out into the world to find out. But while each person he meets―the fisherman, the actor, and others―has an answer to his question, not one seems quite right. Could love really be a fish, or applause, or the night? Or could it actually be something much closer to home?

This is a book that kids as well as parents will enjoy. Begginging from the child’s perspective, it’s funny and unexpected in ways that a child can relate, while being thoughtful in ways that adults will appreciate too.
