What the World Needs Now is Love

I had the pleasure of illustrating What the World Needs Now is Love for the first time ever as a picture book. It was so fun listening to the song for inspiration (my favorite cover is by Dionne Warwick). The illustrations are meant to be energetic and playful with people from all walks of life.

About the book

With its soothing lyrics and calming tones, "What the World Needs Now Is Love" has become a beloved song worldwide since its release in 1965. Now, for the first time ever, these captivating lyrics are in book form accompanied by gorgeous illustrations, and perfectly packaged with a ribbon enclosure.

 

Both a reminder of the importance of love and a call to make the world a better place, this book is the perfect gift for anyone you care about—or for yourself when you need some gentle comfort.
