A playful celebration of balls and play

Beach balls, baseballs, soccer balls, basketballs, and even gumballs give this board book a simple organizing idea: the many forms a ball can take and the ways children play with them. Amy Novesky’s rhyming text and Sara Gillingham’s illustrations frame the subject around movement, imagination, and shared play. Its compact board-book format and everyday theme connect it with playtime and story time alike.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Toddlers and young children interested in balls, sports, and active play
  • Caregivers looking for a board book to share at story time
  • Families seeking a simple, playful book about imagination and connection

Book overview

A joyful board book that celebrates the simple magic of a ball and the children who love to throw, bounce, roll, and play.

From beach balls and baseballs to soccer balls, basketballs, and even gumballs, Love Is a Ball is a bright and bouncy tribute to one of childhood's favorite toys. With lively rhymes and playful illustrations, Amy Novesky and Sara Gillingham capture the movement, energy, and delight that a ball brings to everyday life.

Whether shared during playtime, story time, or bedtime, this charming board book encourages active play, imagination, and connection. Like the beloved Love Is a Tutu and Love Is a Truck, it pairs simple language with stylish artwork in a format that parents and toddlers will return to again and again.

A wonderful gift for energetic toddlers, and anyone who knows that some of life's greatest joys begin with a ball.
