Loving Lucy Presents the Virtue of Love is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Frances Angelina. It aims to promote positive emotions and virtues in children through stories, and interactive activities. Young readers are introduced to Leo, a young boy who lives in a happy and loving home, but circumstances change when his mother dies. His father becomes neglectful, his sister gets involved with bad friends, and he meets a troubled boy who gives him terrible advice. Throughout the book, children learn the importance of prayer and trusting God for guidance. The book features interactive elements, such as questions about pets, shapes, and colors, lessons in different languages, poems, and songs. It introduces the concept of Virtuepops, characters who embody various virtues, and emphasizes the crucial role caregivers play in modeling positive behavior. Finally, it teaches children to embrace love, respect, and responsibility.
Loving Lucy Presents the Virtue of Love is an informative book that fosters children's emotional, spiritual, and moral growth. It is the fifth installment in the Thank You for Rainbow Adventures series and explores themes of resilience, faith, and the impact of both positive and negative friendships. Frances Angelina encourages caregivers to instill values of love and virtue in children through simple acts, such as showing kindness to the elderly, pets, and individuals with special needs. She advises them to speak positively around children and to teach them about faith. It is important to note that the book addresses mature topics like abortion, racism, and sexuality, which may be sensitive for some readers. However, these discussions are valuable as they encourage open conversations about societal issues and help children make better-informed decisions. The colorful illustrations are vibrant and eye-catching. Overall, this is a meaningful read that offers profound lessons, equipping children to grow into responsible, kind, respectful, and virtuous individuals.
