Love Wins
What can I say? I love, love and after reading this beautifully illustrated book to my 5 year old son, it brought so much satisfaction to us at the end of the story. This storyline was well paced and entertaining to read. I love the poem included and I believe that it should be plastered on the wall in every child's bedroom. As a father, I enjoy passing life lessons and knowledge to my son, and seeing that a parent doing the same, with teaching how to express love to others, really uplifted my spirits. I'd highly recommend this book to all children so that they have a better understanding on how to show love and kindness to others.
I Think I Learned Something
I'm glad I picked this up. I was a little critical of it at times because I thought too much responsibility was being put on the little girl, but I think all parents have done this. We want our kids to play together and entertain each other, and don't really think about what they want. After I realized that, I enjoyed the story more. The art is beautiful, the font is creative and pleasant, and the characters are believable. There are definitely multiple messages that can be learned from this short book. I would recommend it. My copy was a free eBook, but I bet this would be lovely in printed form!
A Gentle Nudge to Love Genuinely
I read this along with my 8 yo daughter and we both enjoyed the beautiful illustrations and Lu's relatable character. Not only does Lu learn to show hospitality to her little cousin Henry, she also learns how to serve him by taking a genuine interest in the things that excite him, thereby making him feel heartily welcome! Without sounding preachy, this book beautifully communicates the value of wholeheartedly loving and serving others--on a level that young children can relate to and understand.
It’s not about you!
What an important lesson to be learned by all. It just goes to show you that social skills are learned, and parental guidance is crucial for children’s development. Thank you!
Great book that illustrates ways to show love
I appreciate how this book illustrates to children how to truly show love. Love is an action. Our children get to watch as lulu struggles with her heart and feelings in showing love someone else. This book opens up discussion opportunities with our own kids of how they can love others! Beautifully told story and great pictures!
Sweetest little Love Poem
Such a sweet story and so real! I read it to my 5 and 7 year old girls. They loved it and prompted a talk about a few playdates they have had recently. I plan to use the poem A LOT! and use it in my art. Thank you Leah for another excellent children's book💕
A Great Story About Learning To Love Enough To share.
Little Lu Learns To Love is a fantastic book about learning to love enough to put your reds aside and spend time with someone else, in this case, Little Lu’s Cousin. When she took the time to spend with her cousin, she realized how enjoyable it was. The special encouragement by her mother and the sweet poem are really nice. The note by the author is special, as well. Great book to enjoy with your family and classroom.
Such a sweet story with a great lesson about loving others
Such a great way to talk about what it means to love others and to put them above ourselves. Our family loves this story! All kids can relate to Little Lu when things don't go as she had planned for the day and she has to put others first. I love the little poem that helps her and how she ends up having a great day once she decides to put another kid's interests above her own. Such a valuable, powerful lesson in this story that is taught so much better than trying to lecture our kids about loving others. You will love this book!!!!
Little Lu shows love!
Little Lu learns a valuable lesson about putting others needs before her own. Excellent resource for children to learn to show interest in others hobbies as well as their own.
A valuable lesson!
A big lesson in a small package that gets the point across in a loving way. It is a lesson even adults, myself included, need to learn. It's not always about me and what I want. Love is investing in others and in turn we reap rewards we never thought possible.
