Description
This vibrant and imaginative picture book for kids explores the Holy Spirit's vital role in God's plan to bring love to all His children.
***
Love can be patient when waiting in line. Love can be kind when no one is nice.
Love can share even when it's hard. Love can be honest and not tell a lie.
But perhaps the toughest thing Love can do: Love can forgive when others hurt you.
***
God is love, and each part of the Trinity-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-work in perfect unity to carry out the Lord's plan for His precious children. In her signature lyrical style, author and spoken word artist Quina Aragon explains to kids who the Holy Spirit is (God's superhero helper) and how he works inside of our hearts to allow us to love like our Heavenly Father does.
Love Can will deepen your child's faith and encourage them to choose love in all situations.

Reviews
"Every child needs to be introduced to their Superhero Helper and true superpower. Love Can is beautiful, captivating, and compelling."
-Christine Caine, founder of A21 and Propel Women
"The poetic words of Love Can flow like a joyful stream straight to the heart. Quina casts a biblically rich view of the love that is possible when we allow the Holy Spirit to empower us. In this chaotic and broken world, the message of this book rings loud for children-and adults alongside them-to hear and receive. It's true: we can't love on our own. But with the Super Helper, the precious Spirit of God, we can!"
-Dorena Williamson, bestselling children's book author
"God is love, and in Him we move and have our being. Yet loving ourselves and our neighbors well does not come naturally. Love Can teaches us how to love each other well."
-Ekemini Uwan, public theologian and coauthor of Truth's Table: Black Women's Musings on Life, Love, and Liberation
"In Love Can, Quina Aragon does an exceptional job clearly explaining a complex topic for young believers. We hope children everywhere store deep in their hearts this important and powerful message to live out the gospel with the Holy Spirit's help."
-Emily Jensen and Laura Wifler, co-founders of Risen Motherhood
"There are fewer things more beautiful and stirring than watching someone grow in their ability to embody love. With Love Can, Quina has simply, beautifully, and compellingly created a world real enough for us to enter. The greatest expression of art is the kind you can experience. What an invitation! Not simply to know God's love, but to feel it in our bones."
-Rich Perez, filmmaker, author, and speaker
"Powerful language and stunning illustrations make this story one you'll want to read (and tell!) over and over. Love Can is the superhero story we all need!"
-Ruth Chou Simons, mom to 6 boys, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, artist, and founder of GraceLaced
"It is often difficult for parents to know how to explain the Holy Spirit to young children. In her new book, Love Can: A Story of God's Superpower Helper, Quina Aragon shows children the effects of the Holy Spirit in their lives, teaching them what it means to walk by the Spirit. This book is an excellent way to help children begin to understand the powerful work God does in us and how it overflows in love toward others."
-Melissa Kruger, author and director of women's initiatives for The Gospel Coalition
"In another beautiful and engaging book, Quina Aragongives young disciples a glimpse of the Holy Spirit's vital and amazing work. I can't wait to read it with my 4 year old!"
