Can you feel it? There is love in the air today! To celebrate Valentine’s Day and International Book Giving Day, we are introducing and GIVING AWAY a new book, Love Is In the Air by Jonathan Fenske!
A few weeks ago, there was a little package waiting in my mailbox. To my delight, author and illustrator Jonathan Fenske had sent me his first children’s book. Love Is In The Air is a tale of Kite and Balloon who become friends up in the air. After Kite lands in a tree, Balloon is separated from his friend, Kite. However a run in with a bird helps reunite the two friends.
Love Is In The Air is a Penguin Young Reader book perfect for that beginner reader in your life. Books for beginner readers often lack an interesting story line. Love Is In The Air proves that statement wrong! The tale of separation and reunion of two friends will capture your child’s interest from the first page. Jonathan’s bold and simple illustrations provide just the right amount of support for the text.
So, who is this new author and illustrator of children’s books? I had the chance to ask Jonathan a few questions about himself.
Please see the linky directory at the bottom of the page to see where this post has been linked.
Would love to hear my son read this book to me! I love all the book suggestions from your blog!
Great interview! Awesome idea! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Picture books are my weakness. This one looks great.
Looks like this book is right at the reading level of my daughter and the interest level of both daughters.
Great giveaway! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I loved reading about Jonathan and his inspirations and how his love for illustrating grew. I gave me tips on what to do with my little one. I do a great job with displaying her art. Maybe that will encourage her to chase any dreams she may have with art. Thanks for this blog post.
Thank you for having Jonathan guest on Growing Book by Book! We love your site….it’s so fun to visit. Good luck to everyone for the giveaway!

I would love to be able to get this prize. We go to the library each week and check out about twenty books. They get read nightly through the week. My 2nd grader now wants to start reading to us but some of the books are not age appropriate with word knowledge. This book would be though and it would be one that he could keep instead of having to return it the following week.
This book looks adorable! I would add it to my little one’s book nook.
