Love in the rhythms of the natural world

Told from Nana’s point of view, *Like So* links the bond between a family and child to familiar images from nature: sun and day, moon and waves, and stars in the night sky. These comparisons give the board book’s read-aloud structure a clear organizing thread, while its central subject is family love through complicated times. The result is an affirming picture of connection that includes both family relationships and the world around them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For young children sharing a board book with a caregiver.
  • For families seeking a read-aloud centered on intergenerational love and connection.
  • For readers interested in children’s books featuring Black family life.

Book overview

A board book!

Bestselling author Ruth Forman and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Honoree Raissa Figueroa craft a lyrical and vibrant story honoring the love and bond that exists between family and child even in complicated times.

Told from Nana's point of view, this simple, affirming, and comforting read-aloud shows how every family's love is natural and connected to the world around us. Just as the sun loves the day, the moon loves the waves, and the night sky loves the star glow...so is our love for each other: innate, wondrous, and infinite.
