Love has been in the air this week! The Wise Owls, Caterpillars and Infants have shared heartwarming story of “The Boy Who Loved Everyone” during their library lessons.
“I love you,” Dimitri tells everyone, from his friends at nursery to the ants in the playground. But why doesn’t anyone say it back? Dimitri worries no one loves him, until he discovers there are many ways love can spread through the world. An uplifting story about the power of kindness.”
We have lots of books about love in the Prep Library.
