"A timeless and beautiful celebration of family love."
February 2025 Debut of the Month
Our love is bigger than any river, reads the text on the opening spread of Fatima Ordinola’s new picture book.
The illustration shows a deer with its fawn in the peaceful setting of a meadow as they drink from the river, woods in the background. The following pages show more animal families, a koala and her joey, a bear and her cub snuffling up berries, a blue whale and her baby, while accompanying lines of text use the images to describe the nature of love between a parent and child: our love protects me on the coldest day, reads the line on a page of penguins and their chicks.
The soft, evocative illustrations in a palette of pinks, blues and purples, exude warmth and a true sense of deep and enduring love while still finding space for action and humour and the book concludes with a glorious gatefold bringing all the animals together as they parade across the pages.
This is a beautiful book for adults and children to share, full of reassurance and comfort, and providing so many opportunities for talk.
