Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Love Grows and Grows
Shannon Forster · 2018
74/100
👍 Worth It
A tender picture book about a little girl learning that love multiplies instead of dividing when her family blends. The author's own experience with divorce gives it real heart, and it's earned outside recognition as a 'Certified Great Read' — a lovely pick for families going through a similar season.
