The River of Caregiving

PRAISE FOR JOCELYN CHUNG'S WHEN LOVE IS MORE THAN WORDS:

* “There’s more than one way to say, ‘I love you.’ . . . Actions big and small and contextual clues send the same message. . . . Observing siblings, aunties, uncles, and more caring for one another, the child realizes ‘I have a village of people around me.’ It’s through ‘their laughter / their sacrifices / and their presence’ that the child hears ‘I love you.’ Chung’s elegant text is rife with concrete details. . . . With joy and tenderness, Chung and Kuo convey an important truth; young people whose families express love in different ways will feel seen, heard, and embraced. . . . Readers will feel the love—in every well-chosen word and each exquisite image.” —Kirkus STAR

* “The caring acts of loved ones are the focus of this first-person work that models how affection can be relayed by actions.” —PW STAR

“A girl sees and feels love every day from the many members of her family, living and dead, in a work that shows how actions speak louder than words. . . . A sweet book about love being shown in all the ways that matter." —SLJ
