I Love Kisses, written by Sheryl McFarlane and illustrated by Brenna Vaughan. Sourcebooks, Raincoast. 2017. $12.99 ages 2 and up


"Baby brother drool kisses
Splashing in the pool kisses

Stung by a bee kisses
"Ouch, I scraped my knee
kisses

Noisy tambourine kisses
Ghostly Halloween kisses"

In this lovely little book about a diverse and happy neighborhood, kisses are a thing! Everyone gets and gives them, at all times of the day and any day of the year. Kids and their families, friends and pets are recipients. Joy is expressed on every page, in lilting rhymes and digital images. No matter the family make-up, the diversity that is evident on every page, the kisses are received with joyous expectation and fun.

"Now it's time
to go kisses

Valentine's Day
glow kisses

Lipstick on my
cheek kisses

Found you!"
hide-and-seek
kisses"

A kiss from someone who loves you is a very special thing. Pucker up, wait for the 'eews' you are sure to hear from some, and then share it again.
