What if I woke up one day,
and suddenly, I could speak
every language in the world?
If I didn’t speak loving and kind
words to my friends, but used
my words to hurt and make
fun of others, then my words
would be like unpleasant noise.
Everyone would want to be far,
far away from it.

11. 22
What if I was the smartest
kid on the planet—the top
of the class—a true record
breaker? What if I was so
good at gaming that there
was no level I couldn’t get
past? If I didn’t share my
games with others and take
time to be a true friend, it
would all mean nothing.
12.
13. 33
What if I gave away all my
toys to kids who had less
than me? What if I did good
things for others all day long,
but then didn’t show love to my
family at home by words and
deeds of kindness, gratitude,
and respect? Without love, all my
public displays of unselfishness
wouldn’t matter a bit.

Living in love means being
patient and kind. It means
not wishing for what others
have, not bragging about all the
cool things I have to someone
who has less. It means not trying
to be the best at everything,
but being happy to be part of a
team, and helping my friends in
any way I can.
16.
17. 55
When I live in love I don’t
act rude to others. I try to
be generous to others and
avoid a “me first” attitude.
I try not to get upset over
others’ mistakes, and do
my best to forgive them,
knowing that I make lots
of mistakes too.
18.
19. 66When I live in love I feel
sad when others miss out
on doing fun things. I feel
overjoyed when others get
to be in the spotlight and
receive special rewards. I
celebrate right along with
my friends when they make
the right choices and excel.

When I live in love I always try
to protect and defend those
whom I’m caring for. I trust
that those who care for me will
do the same. I always hope for
good and happiness to come into
others’ lives, and into my life too.
I do my best to work hard on the
tasks that need doing, especially
on the days when it is not easy
to do so.
23. 88Love is the one thing that
never fails. Pretty much
anything else can fail,
get lost, break down, or
disappear altogether. But
love will always be around
to save the day.
25. 99We can always study real
hard and learn everything
we can, but we’ll never
know everything in the
whole world. Some things
will never be exactly the
way we want them to be.
26.
27. 1010But there is a day
coming when we will
know everything there
is to know—a day when
every single one of our
dreams will come true.
That is going to be one
perfect day!
28.
29. 1111When I was a baby, I
couldn’t talk or do many
things. But now that I am
older, I can use my words
and actions to help those
around me. I can put my
hands and feet to good
use and be as loving and
helpful as I can.
30.
31. 1212
There are still lots of things
I don’t know. Sometimes it’s
especially hard to know how
to be loving to those around
me. But as long as I keep
on trying and don’t give up,
one day I will become a love
superhero! This is what God
made me to be, and nothing
will be able to stop me.

33. 1313Would you like to know
the three most awesome
and powerful qualities?
They are: faith, hope,
and love. But which is
the most important of
all? LOVE! Love is the
greatest. Long live love!
34. Do you remember a time
when you said something
nice to someone? Did that
make you feel happy?
My
big thoughts !
Do you like it when other kids let you play
with their toys? Is sharing the right thing
to do even if you don’t always feel like it?
Is it sometimes easier to act politely with
people you meet while playing and at school,
but harder to be nice to your family? What are
some kind deeds you can do for your family?
35. Can you think of ways you can helpothers do better in something?
Does it make you feel happy to helpothers?
Can you think of a time when youmade a mistake and someone
forgave you? Did that make you
feel good?
Think
Think
Think
Does it make you happy when youwin? Talk about how nice it can befor others to feel happy when theywin too.
36. Can you think of some ways to show love
and kindness to your family, your friends,
and your pets?
Can you think of ways to be kind to others
even when they break or lose one of your
favorite toys? Remember that they are
just things, and shouldn’t be valued above
God or others.
Do you like to know a lot of things?
What are some things you can learn
from others around you?
Do you remember to say your prayers and
thank God for all the good things that come
from above?
37. Think
Think
Think
Are you trying to do loving deeds and liveyour everyday life the way you know in
your heart you should?
It’s easy to get discouraged and want
to give up when something is difficult,
but it’s important to keep trying.
What are some things you can do
when it’s hard to keep trying, but you
want to do what’s right?
God gives us many gifts, love
being the most special one. Can
you think of other gifts that we
can get from God? What makes
them different from earthly gifts?
