The Love That Made You is a wonder-filled, empowering picture book introducing children to the idea of a higher power called Love that connects us and carries us through life.

With gentle, rhyming text, The Love That Made You helps grown-ups find the words to share the comfort, encouragement, and wonder of God or the Universe with a young heart, without suggesting that the grown-up knows all the answers. Grace Semler Baldridge, an alt-Christian singer-songwriter, brings their characteristic thoughtfulness into this poetic invitation to think broadly about love as a force that connects all of us, and plants the seeds for a child building their own concept of the divine. Award-winning illustrator Fran Alvarez weaves a compelling visual story of a young child and their family on a camping trip, interacting with fellow hikers and enjoying the wonders of nature while contemplating the big questions children are wont to ask.
