This charming picture book explores the many ways a kiss can say "I love you." Perfect for Valentine's Day gifts, your family library, or storytime read-alouds any day of the year.

I love kisses.

I'll bet that you do too!

Wake up sleepyhead kisses

Raspberry jam and bread kisses…

There are lots of kinds of kisses in the world, and they all say something different. Award-winning author Sheryl McFarlane's new book celebrates the best part about kisses; while each one is unique, they all say "I love you!"

Praise for I Love Kisses:

"McFarlane and Vaughan transport readers to a diverse neighborhood of townhouses populated by families of all makeups and colors―in the span of a few homes there are single parents, interracial families, gay fathers, a child who uses a wheelchair, and others. It's an easygoing and broadly appealing reminder that―no matter a family's shape, size, or particular circumstances―affection is a constant." ―Publishers Weekly

"McFarlane and Vaughan transport readers to a diverse neighborhood of townhouses populated by families of all makeups and colors―in the span of a few homes there are single parents, interracial families, gay fathers, a child who uses a wheelchair, and others. It’s an easygoing and broadly appealing reminder that―no matter a family’s shape, size, or particular circumstances―affection is a constant." ― Publishers Weekly

"Vaughan’s energetic, brightly colored illustrations and diverse cast of characters (a biracial family, a girl in a wheelchair, a baby with two dads) will appeal to a wide variety of readers. The soft lines for noses, puppy ears, and treetops contrast with the crisp lines of buildings, swing sets, and window frames which creates a sense of both groundedness and whimsy." ― School Library Journal

"[The illustrations] neatly show a huge range of diversity in skin tone and family makeup, including two dads with a baby and a mixed-race family." ― Kirkus Reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars I Love Kisses!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2018
This is a lovely little book and one that I read with my daughter. It has various types of kisses such as goodnight kisses and new puppy kisses (we normally do rubbing noses)! The images are lovely and I loved that the images have families with different ethnic backgrounds and different lifestyles and beliefs so it can really be a book for all. Highly recommended for young children.
