Illustrated by
Chris Raschka.
Ogburn has compiled linguistic demonstrations of love from numerous languages, ranging from the Polish "little mouse" to the Lugandan "pampered one" to the Arabic "light of my heart." The endearments appear in English and in the original language along with pronunciation guides. Raschka limits his color palette on individual pages and then uses a rainbow of hues on the last pages to bring the world together.
