Where is Love?

By Laura Nadler Scott Schaefer

“Where is love?” Leni Lovebird desperately wants to learn from her fellow forest dwellers so she can create a love song of her very own. But Leni just can’t seem to find love where others do. Should she take the advice of a busy mole, an old owl, a lolling turtle, or a plump bee? Fly alongside Leni as she journeys far from Mother Bird in search of love, only to discover she has traveled a delicate circle home.

What people are saying about it:

"The first reaction I had when I opened this book was a sigh of delight over the lovely, 50′s style illustrations. It reminded me of the children’s books back then, wonderful pale pastels done in gentle sweeps of color. And the calm, beautiful illustrations are complimented by the sweet text that accompanies them. Leni Lovebird feels that she has no love, her song isn’t melodious like the other lovebirds, so she must be a “love bird without a love song”. Her travels searching for love take her through the forest and talking to the other woodland creatures about what love it to them. The journey ends with her finding love nestled in the wings of her mother, safe and sound. This is a simple story of mother/child love that even the smallest child can understand, especially while snuggled up in the arms of their own mother while reading it. The story is truly heartwarming and was a delight to read."  Karlynn, The Kitchen Magpie

 

"We love reading books, especially in the evenings before bed. We snuggle up close and read a few short books, some of which we have read many times over. “Where is Love?” makes for the perfect bedtime book. With beautiful illustrations and a very sweet story I’m sure it will fast become a bedtime ritual in our home.

"I recently had the opportunity to review an adorable book called, Where Is Love?, written by Laura Nadler Scott and illustrated by Marguerite Massa. My 6 year old really liked it, especially since it involved bird characters. His grandpa (my dad) is an avid bird lover, so this was a great read for our family!"  Shannon, The Mommy Files
