There are lots of ways that we can feel loved and give love. Love in its broadest sense. Mindful words explore themes such as self-love, a parent's love for a new baby, the bond between siblings, friendship, fighting for what you believe in, and missing someone who's no longer there.

Imagined with sublime illustrations that perfectly embody each side. Love may feel proud like a peacock, on display for the world to see, but it may also sing a softer song that goes unheard to those who are not listening.

A beautifully illustrated picture book from an artist skyrocketing in popularity.

About the Author

Lily Murray (Author)
Lily grew up in the wilds of snowy nowhere, spending much of her time talking to animals and making up stories. She has continued to do this in her adult life, and now writes both fiction and non-fiction books for children. Her titles for Big Picture Press include Dinosaurium, Beneath the Waves, Small Worlds: Water and There are Bugs Everywhere.

Sarah Maycock (Illustrator)
Sarah studied Illustration at Kingston University and in 2011 was selected as an It's Nice That Graduate. Notably, in 2018, she was commissioned to create a series of illustrations for London Natural History Museum's 2018 Whales exhibition. She trained herself to draw animals from nature documentaries. Her unique ability to capture a creature's characteristics or the forces of nature in just a few swoops of ink is incomparable and truly impressive.
