'Love Is...' is that little naked cartoon boy and girl who like to remind us at every opportunity why life's worth living and why love makes the world go around. It was a huge hit in the 70's and continues to be syndicated around the world today. The whole brand is ripe for re-launching and we have a whole series of books offering cute and cuddly wisdom for young and old, boys and girls, happy and sad alike.

The story behind these delightful cartoons is as charming as the drawings themselves. In the 1960s a shy artist named Kim Casali found she could best express her feelings to the man who would eventually become her husband through her charming drawings, which he would find every day in the most unlikely places. Roberto not only treasured and saved them all, he recognized their universal message of hope and love. He shared the first with Los Angeles Times readers in 1970 and today these heartfelt drawings are treasured by over 100 million people in 50 countries. This third collection presents 365 new drawings —now retro, impactful, and delightfully witty. Do you remember when we believed love could save the world? Maybe not so farfetched an idea today!

This book features one of the most currently popular images (the Love is...couple on an "easy rider" motorcycle) and glossy flower-power design on the die-cut front cover, plus psychedelic-inspired endpapers.

Love is . . . All Around, the newest book in the successful Abrams series, features the all-time best of these beloved cartoons! The story behind the “Love is . . .” phenomenon is legend: In the 1960s, a shy artist named Kim Grove found she could best express her feelings to Roberto Casali, the man she eventually wed, through charming love notes. Casali treasured the drawings—and recognized their universal appeal. In 1970, he shared his wife’s work with the Los Angeles Times, and the rest is history. An essay by Stefano Casali, Kim and Roberto’s son, completes this special book, offering an insider’s knowledge of the heartfelt “Love is . . .” cartoons.
