A Tale of Love

2021 INDIES Finalist
Finalist, Picture Books (Children's)

Though he lives in a mansion filled with grand works of art, a fortunate man considers his greatest treasure to be his son. The two go on imaginative adventures through the painted worlds, and his son grows up to be kind and brave. After tragedy strikes, the man longs to pass his collection on—but it will have to be to someone who understands the true value of the art. Soft, dreamy illustrations complement this parabolic tale about the rewards of love.
