Dimitri may be small, but his heart is as big and as open as a cloudless blue sky. I love you, Dimitri tells his new classmates at preschool. I love you, Dimitri tells the class guinea pig and the ants on the ground. I love you, Dimitri tells the paintbrushes and the tree with heart-shaped leaves. So why doesnt anyone say I love you back? Could love also be expressed in unspoken ways? In a familiar story of navigating the social cues of new friendship, author Jane Porter and illustrator Maisie Paradise Shearring offer a thoughtful tribute to the tender onesthose who spread kindness simply by being, and who love without bounds.
