Our Love Is a Sea of Stars

A luminous debut picture book from artist and designer Yao Cheng celebrating the abundant power of love.My children would ask me, “Mama, how much do you love me?” And because love is just too big to put into words, I painted this book as my reply: “Well, why don’t I show you?”Inspired by her children’s timeless question, Yao Cheng has created a tender celebration of boundless and unconditional love. A caregiver’s devotion can be as vast as the cosmos, as fearless as the highest peaks, and as sweet as an ice cream cone.Through gentle text and expressive, hand-painted watercolor artwork, Cheng invites children to recognize love in all its forms—in moments of wonder, in the world around them, and in the people who remain by their side. The closer we look, the more love we find: a love as endless as a sea of stars.
