Book + Trailer: One Love, by Cedella Marley


This heartwarming picture book, based on one of Bob Marley's most beloved songs, brings his joyful spirit and unforgettable lyrics to life for a new generation. Adapted by Cedella Marley, Bob Marley's oldest child, and vibrantly illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton, One Love depicts the positive groove of change, showing one girl's journey as she enlists her friends, family, and community to help transform their neighborhood for the better.

Cedella says, "When my father sang 'One Love,' he felt it all the way—heart and soul, mind and body. He thought a world united by love was possible, and it is. 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.
