Use your library card or get a library card here!
Adapted by Cedella Marley, Bob Marley's eldest child, and exuberantly illustrated by Alea Marley, Is This Love? is a joyful ode to the unshakeable love shared by all those who call one another family.
Increase pre-literacy skills as you read together:
- Sing the book to a steady beat or to the tune of Is This Love? by Bob Marley.
- Before continuing with the story, ask your little one to tell you what they think is happening on the page, or ask them to re-tell the story in their own words.
- Repeat rhyming words like "know" and "grow" and run a finger under them as you say them.
