For some families, saying ''I love you'' comes out easily. For others, they show ''I love you'' in other caring ways. Author-illustrator Caroline Hadilaksono's sweet story explores the many thoughtful ways we show our love to each other, whether it's spending time together or hidden in a question like ''have you eaten yet?''

With bright strokes of color and perfect read-aloud text, Caroline crafts a tender ode to familial love in its many beautiful forms. Following various multicultural families, each spread shows a self-contained love story. Even if we don't say the words out loud, if you listen closely, you can hear an ''I love you'' in the acts of care and love.
