SuitabookLove Is All We Need
Krina Patel-Sage
- Reading
- Read the rhyming text aloud, then linger over each spread to follow the named children and discuss one caring action at a time. Revisit favourite images rather than rushing to complete the book.
- Themes
- Many forms of family life: Six diverse and inclusive families are shown taking part in ordinary activities and significant occasions, including welcoming a new baby and marking festivals or anniversaries. The presentation treats varied family life as part of the book’s positive celebration of love and care.
- Everyday expressions of care: Care appears in small moments such as a warm towel after a bath or a hug after a fall, as well as in friendship and family activities. These actions are presented as ways love creates happiness and comfort, making care visible in ordinary routines.
- Worth knowing
- The book may work particularly well for shared reading where adults pause over the illustrations and invite children to spot recurring characters, describe caring actions and connect them with their own experiences.
