YOU COME FROM LOVE

Motz presents a sweet tribute to love and family in this children’s picture book.

“Where do I come from?” is a common question that kids ask adults. This delightful work simplistically but sweetly answers, “I tell you, my child / that you come from love,” followed by 25 colorful pages detailing myriad ways that love can manifest. Whether it comes from “the universe,” “the stars,” and the “earth” or from “the song…sang at your birth,” love is shown to “lift you, again and again” and “carry you, now ’til the end.” Easy but powerful rhymes allude to dynamic themes of spirituality, ancestry, and family, allowing caretakers and their children to choose their own path regarding the subject. The book would work well as a quick bedtime story or an in-depth opportunity to explore the multiple ways to have a family and experience love. Illustrator Aspiras aids in emphasizing the beauty of diversity by using bold, striking colors to depict varied genders and cultures within a family. At the heart of most images are two small children in a picturesque world. Both adults and kids will be enchanted by the alluring, sweeping imagery on each page as they read that love is, in fact, all around.

Artful rhymes and radiant illustrations paint a loving picture in this charming work for young readers.
