Ava Loves First
Ava loves to give. Then two baby brothers come home, and nobody is looking at her signs. A sweet, gently funny story about where love comes from and why it gets bigger every time you give it away. Based on 1 John 4:19.
Soft watercolor illustrations, a "Talk about it" page for families, and a different Maple Lane kid leading every book. Ages 4 to 8.
