Books like Full, Full, Full of Love
By Trish Cooke
For the kid who lives for big family gatherings and can't get enough of Grannie's kitchen, this is the book that puts that warmth into words. Cozy, joyful, and full-hearted, with a rhythm that builds like a house filling up with family.
As night falls, a raccoon, a doe, a rabbit, a field mouse, and a little boy each get tucked in and wonder if they'll be safe — and every parent answers, "I am here."
On a stormy night on Plum Street, a little bear cub named Sam stalls his bedtime with a story, a tucking-in, and warm milk — but something important is still missing.
A tiny hedgehog named Bean spends her days with Grandma, in ten small stories full of ordinary magic — losing a bad mood in a meadow, giant strawberries, and a ghost that's really just Bean in a sheet.
A gallery of animal families — ducks, pandas, hippos, tigers, and more — appears in framed portraits, each one showing a different way to be a family, from two moms to a kid with just a pet plant.
A mother sings the same lullaby to her son from infancy through adulthood, rocking him each night — until he is grown and gently rocks her in return.
A gentle tour through nature at dusk, as mother animals — owl, fox, whale, and more — each tell their babies just how deep and boundless their love runs.
A little girl and her daddy spend a day at the beach, facing small mishaps — a lost shoe, a ball drifting out to sea, a melting ice-cream cone — that he patiently fixes, one by one.
A child in the Arctic asks her mother again and again — what if I misbehave, what if I turn into a wild animal — testing just how far a mother's love can stretch.
On a quiet rainy morning while Papa and Luca sleep, a little girl follows her mama through their cinnamon-scented house, wanting to be wherever Mama is.
A gentle, repeating question moves through the animal world — from kangaroos to lions to dolphins — showing every baby, a joey, a cub, a calf, has a mother who loves it.
A young hare tries to show his father just how much he loves him, stretching his arms wide and reaching as high as he can — but Big Nutbrown Hare always finds a way to love him back more.
