In this follow up to Books Always Everywhere, Sarah Massini pairs adorably soft illustrations with quick, rhyming text. This is a perfect little read aloud to cuddle up with and explore the illustrations.

This precious picture book explores love in the different ways preschoolers feel it and express it. It’s not so much a story as it is an exploration of the concept of love. Whether it’s quiet or loud, a kind gesture or simply a feeling, love fills every page of this adorable book.
My kids love this book, even though they’re a little too old for it. It’s very sweet. I fully expect my toddler to love it as she gets older, too.

We love this book, especially the very beautiful illustrations. My 2 yo loved to spot the little mouse in almost every page of the book.

Love Always Everywhere is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Sarah Massini. It is about the joyful celebration of love in its many forms. It is a companion book to Book Always Everywhere.
The text is simplistic and straightforward. The narrative is rather simple – a couple of words for each page and rather poetic. It is about the joys of the many different types of love. The illustrations are wonderfully depicted, a tad childish, but it exemplifies and apropos to the text rather well.
The premise of the book is rather straightforward. It is about the joys and celebration of love. Love could be many things and come in many forms from sharing a quiet moment with another to a joyous and ruckus celebration. It is a very simplistic book and targeted to younger children, where each page has a couple of words – the first word always being love.
All in all, Love Always Everywhere is a wonderfully well written children's book that celebrates the many concept of love.

LOVE ALWAYS EVERYWHERE is a sweet board book about love. The book contains a brief, rhyming poem about different types of love with adorable characters filling each page.
What I loved: This is a very sweet book about love that works perfectly for Valentine's Day or as a message of love. With only a few words on each page, they turn quickly, and this will work well for the youngest of readers, including older infants and young toddlers. The message is simple about embracing all types of love, however you like to show it. With rhyming phrases and repetitive words, this is one that young readers can really enjoy listening to. Illustrations are very sweet with enough details to keep little ones engaged.
Final verdict: LOVE ALWAYS EVERYWHERE is a sweet board book that will appeal to infants and toddlers with rhyming phrases, repeating words, and cute illustrations.
Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

This board book is a fun read for little ones on Valentine's Day. With pictures of friends, family, and pets, this book uses short phrases and cute illustrations to explain different types of love and how it can be expressed.
I think this would be a nice seasonal read for families with small children and can open up a conversation about feelings.
I received a gifted copy of this book from Nosy Crow. All opinions are my own.

Love Always Everywhere is a sweet, adorable, rhyming, and delightful board book! I truly love the contrasts throughout the book which show the reader how love can show up in many different ways. Shy or proud, loud or quiet......love always shines when it is present and this book showcases that beautifully. I also adore the illustrations!

A great rhyming story for pre-school and/or kindergarten. Perfect in time for Valentine’s day. The story line reinforces the concept of love by displaying how we can love each other in many different ways.

Sentiment was better than execution

Rhyming story that's very repetitive. Every other word is "love". The illustrations are colorful, playful tots.

Happy children celebrate the types of love that surround them. Two-Four words per page make this an excellent read-aloud to a big group. Sweet. Simple. Perfect.

Great for baby/toddler storytimes; beautiful illustrations.

This is a cute book for little readers. The rhymes are nicely done and little kids will enjoy looking at how that works. My kids didn’t enjoy it a lot buy it was well done.

This board book--2.5 for me--celebrates love and various ways it's expressed. It might be through a hug or quiet moments sharing a book. Or it could be celebrated with notes blown from a musical instrument--or even the gift of a shell or taking care of someone when they aren't feeling well. The colorful, simply adorable children featured in the illustrations really bring this book's message home, reminding readers that love is everywhere, if you care to look. I wish there had been more examples and perhaps more rhyming words in the text to make it more entertaining to read aloud.

love this book. Beautiful drawings and can use it for children to explain about love and feelings. I will use this for work

Toddlers will enjoy this book depicting children showing and sharing in acts of kindness and love. The author demonstrates how even quiet moments are reflections of love. The text is simple “love quiet, love loud, love shy, love proud.” The mixed-media illustrations are done in a pastel palette. There are so many hearts throughout the book it would make for a nice activity to go back and point them out and count them. I recommend for purchase.

No matter where you are or what you're doing, it's possible to feel and give love -- so this book shows, with spreads of children playing and loving in a variety of ways. The simple text and younger characters render this one better suited to an audience of toddlers or preschoolers, although very young elementary-schoolers may have some interest. This story would also make a good board book.

"Love Always Everywhere" was a simple and delightful book. It is a picture book and intended for ages 3-7. The illustrations were very detailed and bright. I enjoyed that the plot to the book was just to love no matter what it is. I think that is a concept that all children should experience. It was a very good read. I enjoyed it!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this book is a wonderful celebration of love. Using two word rhyming verse, we see love described in lots of way in lots of places. A good predictable book to share with young readers to remind them of our love of them and reading!

Simple two-word rhyme, delivering a sweet message about love and friendship. Lovely illustrations showing children playing, caring & sharing together. See more of my review and some pictures here: http://missusbspicturebookreviews.blo...

Each page has only two words, one of which is love, and follows around a group of children as they play through their day. Rhyming text, full-page illustrations, and a sweet message. This is a quiet book.

This was a simple baby and up picture book that could also be used with other age groups and talk about the pictures more. Each page has two words love and then something happening in the picture. Left me with a warm feeling.

Cute illustrations but not a good storytime book; just two words per page - _____ love.
