About The Book

A heart-warming and funny tale about the different kinds of love, and how no matter how much love you give you can never run out.

You can’t measure love in a bucket or cup. You don’t have to worry you’ll use it all up.
Because love’s not a game where you have to keep score. Whenever you give some, you’ll always have more.
When you’ve run out of everything else you’ll still find . . .
You can never run out of love.


Find out about all different kinds of love in this gorgeous book by award-winning author Helen Docherty with illustrations from the brilliant Ali Pye.

'Love never runs out - what a perfect message for parents to share with their children ... The message of love is repeated throughout this sweet and gentle book.' Parents in Touch
