Description
SUCH A GREAT LOVE
Book Summary
A picture book that explores the vastness of a mother's love through a simple and powerful question: how do you measure it? With poetic language full of evocative imagery, the author invites little ones to discover that there are some loves that cannot fit into any conventional measurement. A tender and visual story that celebrates the unique bond between mother and child, reminding us that true love finds its place in the heart.
What is it about?
The book poses the central question of how to quantify maternal love, a feeling so vast it defies any attempt at measurement. Through ingenious and dreamlike comparisons, the narrative discards impossible containers: it won't fit in a giant's suitcase, nor an elephant's hat, not even in a kiss from the moon. Each page is a game of imagination that takes the reader through fantastic scenarios, until arriving at the only possible answer: a mother's love only fits in the heart of the one who receives it. It is a lyrical journey that, through fantasy, connects with the most genuine and everyday emotion.
