About
Big Words for Little People: Love Synopsis
This little book on Love is the next instalment of an exciting series exploring big topics with young children in a way that feels good.
Using carefully chosen words, such as 'family', 'forever' and 'closeness', it creates a special moment for grown-ups and young children to focus on what it means to love others, lose people or animals we love, and be loved.
Children can discover and understand new words to help them to talk about the ups and downs of first experiences and new emotions with confidence. The engaging art style, fun characters and hardback picture book feel make this series accessible and perfect to share. Each book includes reassuring tips on how to enjoy these books, encourage conversation and build language confidence.
This series is special not only because it focuses on feelings in a child-friendly way, but also because it's from Oxford, it's packed with educational goodness that helps children develop and grow.

Helen Mortimer Press Reviews
Empowering, interactive, fun, and with age appropriate language, these books are supportive, engaging and important. - Armadillo Magazine
I love these books (and so do my sons!). Not only are they beautifully illustrated but the content is pitched just right for having rich conversations with young children about values like kindness and bravery. These books will be a great resource for teachers and parents alike, helping them equip their children with the vocabulary they'll need to understand and express their emotions better. - Adrian Bethune, Teachappy
