What does love look like? Is it holding hands? Sharing kisses? Getting married? When Claire spends the weekend with her amazing Aunt Lola, she discovers love can look like many things.
While watching her parents’ wedding video, Claire wonders why Aunt Lola never got married. Lola explains that she’s aroace – asexual and aromantic -which means she’s complete just as she is and loves people through friendship, care, and connection. Through their time together, Claire meets the friends, neighbours, and chosen family who make up Lola’s community and realises that love isn’t only about romance or marriage, but about kindness, respect, and belonging.
Love Looks Like Lola introduces asexual and aromantic identities and helps children see that love isn’t one-size-fits-all. With warmth, humour and heart, it invites readers to explore the many ways love can look and reminds us that every kind of love is worth celebrating.
