A heartwarming children's book promoting love and unity. It teaches children that love should embrace all spheres of life and should be given to everyone.
In a world filled with hate and judgement encouraging our little ones to show love is a great virtue. Moreover, the illustrations were so lovely.
I can imagine reading this story to my children some day.

This was an adorable little book with lovely artwork. A nice quick read for little ones, especially helpful if they’re just learning to read.

This is such a sweet story of love told in the purest form for very young readers to relate to and understand. The sentences are simple and repetitive which are great for beginner readers.

I love how warm and detailed the illustrations are, however, I was expecting more of a correlation between the illustration and the verse. One example would be the "Love is generous" page - I would have imagined an illustration more to do with sharing or giving. Also, I would match the book typeface to the cover typeface and possibly change the color to black.

Overall, this is a great story of love and all its attributes and serves as a good reminder for any adult reading the story with their child. I would recommend this book and purchase it for my 8 month old son.

Love by Casey Rislov is a beautiful short read perfect for small children. It's an illustrated version of the most famous verses on love found in the Bible (1 Corinthians 13:4-8) but shown in a practical way, and all within the context of family relationships. The illustrations are really cute, and its depicted characters are bound to make kids and adults alike identify to them in some way.

My only reason for not giving it a full 5 stars is because I think the blend between the text space and the illustration could have been smoother, but otherwise, I know this book will be a beautiful addition to a growing print collection.

Love by Casey Rislov is a cute little book about love. I love the pictures and the words. I read it to my 3 month old granddaughter and she seemed like it was short enough for her to enjoy. I will definitely purchase for her.

I really liked this illustrated version of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. The illustrations are gorgeous. I'm a little confused on why this needed a writer and an illustrator since the illustrator did all the heavy lifting here. Also, whoever is the art director needs to work on their choice of typeface for the text. It is too formal and doesn't match the whimsical illustrations. Plus the color of the text is not very reader friendly on some pages. It feels more like a book mock-up than a finished fully designed copy. The illustrations get 5 stars, but the art design gets a 1, so I have rated this 3 stars.

Simple elements of the verses from 1 Corinthians are sweetly paired with warm illustrations of owls and other woodland creatures. Suitable for preschool and early grades, each page has just one simple sentence in a repetitive pattern perfect for emerging readers. The peaceful tone makes this a great bedtime story as well.

This is a beautiful book with a wonderful message. It’s about love and it’s endurance. Each page has one sentence, so it is a quick read. It also makes no mention of religion or god even though it is labeled as a Christian book. Therefore this book would be a led to be used at school as well.
