Love is in the Little Things

Stella J Jones lives in Yorkshire. She loves baked beans and chocolate (but not together) and building ramshackle bookcases for her far-too-big collection of picture books. On sunny days, you can find her practising yoga al fresco out on the Yorkshire Dales and on rainy days, tucked up on the sofa with her two guinea pigs, Pinky and Perky. Jane Massey studied graphic design at Kingston University. She worked for several design agencies in London and Hong Kong before concentrating on illustration. As well as producing numerous children's books, Jane has also created illustrations for advertising, greetings cards and packaging. Jane lives with her family by the sea in Hove.

Clara (aged 3) and I enjoyed reading 'Love is in the Little Things' and talking about all the ways in which you can do kind things for different people . . . The characterful line drawings particularly appealed to both of us. Although the book is about love and the language very simple, the images convey a wide range of emotions and expressions.
