Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Emotion: Love

Our heart, and our love, can take on a variety of sizes, shapes, and emotions. It can be whisper soft, open, or closed. Luyken takes symbolism for a ride in this poetic interpretation of love and ends the story with a solid affirmation that "closed or open//I get to decide."

With only three colors (yellow, black, and white), Luyken pairs the abstract text with a heart on every spread, giving life to these more intangible concepts.
