Loving, Just Like You - Hardcover

by Terri Tatchell (Author), Maria Fló (Illustrator)

Love is everywhere, and children can see it all around them in the animal world.

In Loving, Just Like You, young readers are wrapped in a gentle, rhyming journey through the many ways animals show love. A puppy's playful kisses, a frog's quiet song, a sloth's slow and steady cuddle, a polar bear's fierce protection, and a walrus's call across the water all reveal the same comforting truth: love connects us all.

With soothing, lyrical text and engaging animal moments, this beautifully crafted picture book invites children to recognize love in its many forms-playful, gentle, strong, and enduring. Each page encourages young readers to see that the feelings in their own hearts are reflected throughout the natural world, helping them build a deeper sense of empathy, kindness, and emotional awareness.

Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom discussions, and cozy story time, Loving, Just Like You supports early social and emotional learning (SEL) by exploring themes of connection, belonging, compassion, and family. The rhythmic, read-aloud style makes it an ideal choice for parents, educators, and caregivers looking to create meaningful, calming moments with children.

A heartfelt companion to Dreaming, Just Like You, this tender story celebrates the universal language of love and reminds children that no matter who they are or where they are, love is something we all share.
