It seems most people have a different definition of the word love. Yet we are all correct in our own way.  I think Love Is does an amazing job teaching the smallest readers the meaning of the word love through playful text and whimsical illustrations. I feel this book teaches that love can come in all shapes, form, sizes, and actions and this is more traditional American culture.

In fact, it is usually only in trickster tales and other funny stories that Native American characters announce "I love you" to each other. In most Native American oral traditions, it isn't typical for a storyteller to have serious characters talk or think aloud about how they are feeling-- a character's emotions are usually shown through actions, not by monologues. So just as Native American storytellers are more likely to describe a character crying than feeling sad or saying "I am sad," characters are also more likely to show their love through actions-- either positive actions such as sacrificing for the other person, going to great lengths to be together, or forgiving each other after a transgression, or sometimes negative actions such as jealous attacks or obsessive behavior. In classic American Indian love stories, the word "love" may never even be mentioned, but both the man and the woman will be observed to take at least one direct action to choose the other.

Instead, they display their love by taking care of them, make them their favorite breakfast, supporting their education, teaching them, making sure they are well fed, well protected etc. Love may not be physically displayed but displayed through actions.
