All we've got to do, he said, is 'Give a little, take a little.' " One Love animates this sentiment and passes on an important message about the strength of love and community. Perfect for families everywhere, this charming story is a colorful and upbeat testament to the amazing things that can happen when we all get together with one love in our hearts.
