LOVE by Corrinne Averiss is a funny, emotional, and uplifting picture book that helps children understand their feelings about separation. When Tess leaves for school for the first time, she worries if her family's love will reach her there. Her mum reassures her with the idea that love is like a string connecting people across any distance. At school, Tess sees that all children have these strings—some new, some old, some stretching far, some reaching the sky. But what happens when a string breaks? This story gently explores themes of love, separation, anxiety, and grief.

Funny, emotional and uplifting picture book about separation and love, to help children understand their emotions.

Everyone loves everyone in Tess's house, but when Tess has to leave for school for the very first time, she is worried that her family's love might not stretch that far. Mum explains that love is like a string; it connects people together even when they are far away. At school, Tess notices that all the children have strings! Some are new, some are old, some stretch a long way, and some even stretch right up into the sky. But what happens when a string breaks?

Love is the third in a trio of feel-good picture books from author Corrinne Averiss (Joy (2018), Hope (2019)) - a pure delight from start to finish. A wonderful story that subtly tackles difficult topics of death, grief, separation and overcoming anxiety.
