Description
Join young Minimoni and her dog Max on a whimsical adventure as they explore the concept of love, discovering its big and small wonders along the way.
Little Monica, affectionately known as Minimoni, sets off on a delightful adventure to unravel the mystery of love alongside her loyal dog, Max. Set in their charming neighborhood, Minimoni enjoys her favorite pastime—taking walks with Max—while pondering the confusing conversations of grown-ups about love. Is it something big that can move mountains, or is it found in the small, everyday moments? With humor and curiosity, Minimoni embarks on a quirky quest to explore what love truly means, discovering that it may not be seen, smelled, or touched, but is felt in the heart.
This enchanting picture book is perfect for children aged 3-6, helping them understand and appreciate the concept of love in a lighthearted way. With its engaging story and delightful illustrations, it captures the essence of childhood curiosity and the joy of exploring emotions. Young readers will relate to Minimoni’s questions and experiences, making it a wonderful addition to storytime at home or in the classroom. This book promises to entertain while fostering emotional intelligence and understanding—an essential read for every young child.

"Fantastic illustrations and a great narrative that tackles the tricky to understand concept, love. This will be a great tool for parents to have conversations with their kids when they are feeling stuck on how to explain this idea that all of us have a hard time defining!" —Schuler Books, Bookseller

This is a really sweet story about a girl trying to understand the concept of love. The illustrations are beautiful and the words are tender. I really enjoyed this book.

This is a very sweet little book that can help kids understand a very confusing emotion. My daughter (5) loved the illustrations and the hunt for love as Minimoni was searching for it. She liked that Minimoni was in the cupboards and everything. The dynamic design, with one page flipping the book, and the way Minimoni moves about the pages, kept my daughter engaged. She loved Minimoni wondering if she was in love with spaghetti, and the poor cat getting smothered with kisses. The book opened up some discussion for how we feel and express love, and also how it compares to other emotions. How choosing love is the best option, and how love can look different depending on the situation. The book brings up many questions that kids might have, and allows them to be open without a direct answer. It allows the kids to think and explore and find their own way without platitudes or strong arming or trying to fit things in a box. The illustrations are very well done, and help explain and move the story along, and have just enough imagination included to really grab kids attention (the dragon was a big hit). We read this ebook through NetGalley.
