ABOUT THE BOOK

There are so many ways to say “I love you” without saying a word! One little girl sees the love shown in her family by the way they nurture one another through stories, food, and spending time together. With great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and siblings around, there are so many ways for love to shine through.

Jocelyn Chung’s lyrical text and Julia Kuo’s vibrant illustrations beautifully portray and celebrate a family whose caring actions speak louder than words.

"With joy and tenderness, Chung and Kuo convey an important truth; young people whose families express love in different ways will feel seen, heard, and embraced. . . . Readers will feel the love—in every well-chosen word and each exquisite image.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jocelyn Chung (JocelynChung.com) is an author and graphic designer. She loves exploring the intersection of thoughtful storytelling and communicative design with a splash of warmth, empathy, and fun. When Love Is More Than Words is her debut picture book. She holds a MA in Asian American Studies and has written publications on Taiwanese American identity and family for Harvard Kennedy School’s Asian American Policy Review Journal and USA Today. When she’s not designing or writing, you can find her doodling, cafe-hopping, or on a food-venture somewhere between Los Angeles and Taiwan.
