Summary:"Dimitri may be small, but his heart is as big and open as a cloudless sky. "I love you," Dimitri tells his new friends at preschool. "I love you," Dimitri tells the class guinea pig. "I love you," Dimitri tells the tree with heart-shaped leaves. So why doesn't anyone say it back? Maybe there are ways of saying "I love you" without words. A heart-bursting tribute to the tender ones, like Dimitri, who spread love and kindness without hesitation, fear, or shame."--Book jacket.
