Love Is.: A gentle guide to joy, grief, gratitude, love and life

A beautiful and heartwarming illustrated book that serves as a gentle reminder and a guided exploration of what love is, and how to find it.

Love is. is a beautifully illustrated book that touches on themes of memory, loss, and finding purpose and joy in life’s smallest moments. With hand-drawn color illustrations and simple prose, author Dee Kawai Tang uses her signature humor and gentle sense of wonder to remind us of all the things that truly matter. The book also includes mantras and prompts for readers to apply the same ideas in their own lives—whether it’s wearing your favorite t-shirt, listening to a song that takes you to your happy place, or noticing the small cycles of nature with fresh eyes.

It is easy to lose sight of these things in such uncertain times, so this book was created as a reminder to all humans, big and small, to cherish the tiny moments that count, and to celebrate the joy that can be found in life’s simplest and purest moments.
