Description
With lushly colored illustrations that tug at your heart, this lyrical picture book connects the love that nurtures plants with the love that nurtures our relationships.
Love grows everywhere…
From country farm to city square
From desert village, hot and dry,
to mountain home where eagles fly.
In Love Grows Everywhere, through gentle, rhyming text and vibrant illustrations, feel the love in a close-knit family who grows plants and sells them in their local market, and discover the types of love that exist in the many homes of their diverse community.
But there’s a new kid who is not quite so sure... Can the gardeners’ daughter be brave and extend the love to him?
Beautiful and characterful illustrations from the exceptionally talented Tisha Lee help bring this book to life, and the gentle rhyming text from Barry Timms helps underscore the message of kindness, charity, and love.
In this warm and charming tale, perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond, there is love between friends, family, neighbors, romantic partners, and so much more. Love truly does grow everywhere.

I thought that this was a charming book!
The illustrations were delightful and they really worked well with the book. It was a lovely book to read and I liked that it rhymed too.
My daughter is four and she really enjoyed this book and I am sure that she won’t be the only one. The book had the perfect focus and I love the focus on love and its forms.
It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

A simple but charming read that celebrates love and its power. From the lyrical text and vibrant illustrations to the diversity and wonderful message, what's not to love about this book? 😉

I enjoyed the beautifully different illustrations and the muted colour palette in this lovely children's book. It has a strong sense of community for a children's book, and I love it. Love indeed grows everywhere.
Rachel P, Bookseller
A genuinely sweet and beautiful book about all the ways that love can grow, and the beauty that happens when we open up and show it to those around us. The illustrations are simply gorgeous.
Stephanie G, Educator
A lovely little rhyming story about love, diverse range of characters within the illustrations, a really lovely message for little ones. My little girl was enthralled by the detail in the illustrations and spent a lot of time telling me hat each of them were doing. I loved the messages of being brave and sharing the gift of love. Beautiful.

4☆ A Heart-warming Children's Picture Book.
What a Heart-warming and Precious Children's Picture Book.
Not only is the text all in rhyming verse which was cleverly plotted the illustrations are superb.
Love Grows Everywhere is a beautiful story that teaches children that Love and Kindness is everywhere.
It uses plants as a way to show children the beauty of love, growth, and kindness. A small act of kindness means everything, from a treasured song, a funny joke, to a hug, or to helping give to charity it will always brighten someone's day.
I think children aged 4-7years will really enjoy reading this book. The younger readers may need a little help with some of the wording but it would make a lovely story time read.
Catherine C, Reviewer
My daughter and I loved this cute little book, which has rhyming text and lovely, detailed graphics. The theme of the book is how love grows everywhere, and that it doesn't matter where you are, as love is everywhere you go. From friends, to families, to markets, to communities and to different places, love is always there, and it is always around all of us. Kindness and love are what helps us all stay united together, and they are always growing and spreading to where they are needed. This is a beautiful book, which we both really enjoyed!
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
