Wherever you look, wherever I am or you are, you can see it. Even when I am not here. My love for you stretches forever. Fresh from the bath and tucked into bed, a child asks, “Mama, what color is your love?” What a fantastic and perplexing question! Mama and child explore all the colors love could be, reflected in wonders of nature. Together they discover that, like the beautiful colors, love is everywhere, always. Even when the person it comes from is not. Within the frame of a simple story about colors, Mama, What Color is Your Love? was written as a way to help a mother share her legacy of love when faced with a daunting cancer diagnosis and the reality that she might not have the time she had expected. Classically illustrated and beautifully wordsmithed to reflect a child’s wonder, it reminds us what is truly important and enduring.
