"A tender, funny tale celebrating all forms of love"
Lyrical and thoughtful, this is a beautiful book to return to time and time again as the answers to the question posed by a child are so wide-ranging. The boy asks his grandma, "What is love?" thinking that, because she is old, she would be able to answer. But Grandma has no answer for him and sends him out into the world to find one.
Everyone the boy asks has a different answer. For the fisherman it is fish that you can kiss and return to the sea, for an actor it is the applause of a crowd that makes you feel alive, for the farmer it is a seed. None of the answers are fully satisfying for the boy and it is only when he returns home that he finds out what love is for him.
What is love? a young boy asks. I can't answer that, his grandmother says, and so the boy goes out into the world to find out. But while each person he meets-the fisherman, the actor, and others-has an answer to his question, not one seems quite right. Could love really be a fish, or applause, or the night?
