    Celebrate family and the many forms love can take in this timeless picture book—a perfect gift for any occasion.

    Square is a dock.
    Wavy is lake.
    Love is the shape of the stories we make.

    There are many ways love takes up shape in our lives. In moments big and small, follow one family as they express their love in different ways, from sharing a sweet treat with grandma to celebrate a birthday, to offering a hug and bandaging a sibling's scrape when they fall down.

    With gentle, rhyming text and cozy illustrations, here is a tribute to the multitude of ways we care for one another, and a reminder to the ones we hold dearest just how loved they are.
    Kate Hoefler is the author of several picture books, including Nothing in Common (illustrated by Corinna Luyken), Great Big Things, Rabbit and the Motorbike, and Real Cowboys, which received two starred reviews and was a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Kate received her MFA in poetry from the University of Michigan, where she was a Colby Fellow. She lives in Ohio with her family. View titles by Kate Hoefler
