This book celebrates the way that love is shown such as loud, gentle, or through food. This book highlights the various ways in which someone might show they care to loved ones.

What I Liked: This book is sweet and simple with each page showcasing one of the various ways in which care is shown to others. The illustrations throughout this book are vibrant and highlight a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Final Verdict: Love can Be is a fantastic board book for children ages 1 and up to highlight the ways in which they are loved. This book does a great job of showing how love can change forms as you need it to such as patience when you are grumpy.
