Could love really be a fish, or applause, or the night? Or could it actually be something much closer to home? This tender, funny tale is an original take on the "I love you" story and a picture book treasure for all ages to read and cherish.

The little boy's journey takes him to many different people, whose descriptions of what love means to them is very much about how they see themselves and their lives.
