WHEN LOVE IS MORE THAN WORDS

Jocelyn Chung Julia Kuo

A beautiful story about a family who shows their love in a multitude of ways.

There are so many ways to say "I love you" without saying a word! One little girl sees the love shown in her family by the way they nurture one another through stories, food, and spending time together. With great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and siblings around, there are so many ways for love to shine through. Jocelyn Chung's lyrical text and Julia Kuo's vibrant illustrations beautifully portray and celebrate a family whose caring actions speak louder than words.
