Description
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.

Sweet as chocolate chip cookies, this colourful and warm-hearted exploration of all the different kinds of love that can fill a life is the perfect entry point for children and parents alike to learn about an often-misunderstood identity, while seamlessly weaving in a celebration of diversity and difference in all its forms. - Eris Young, author of Ace Voices
Love Looks like Lola is an utter delight! This joyful celebration of platonic love and the many forms it takes is a welcoming introduction to aromantic and asexual identity, existence, and community. A vital and vibrant addition to any collection. - Rosiee Thor, author of Being Aro, Tarnished are the Stars and The Meaning of Pride
This is a beautiful story that truly celebrates all kinds of love. Love Looks Like Lola represents the aroace community in such an authentic and heartwarming way. It will undoubtedly help improve understanding of what it means to be aroace. - Arthur Webber, author of Jacob's Transition Goals

Love looks like Lola. Is a sweet story.of an aunt who teaches her niece that love doesn't have to be a relationship. A beautiful celebration of love. A sweet treat of a book.
Hannah B, Reviewer
Love Looks Like Lola was a really sweet book and does a good job of introducing aroace identities to a young audience. This book would be a great read for any child to help understand the many different formats love can take, but would also be a perfect guide for a child who has come across a person who is aroace and is curious to learn more.
The illustrations were also lovely, and I loved the guide for adults and questions for discussion at the back of the book. I hope this book gets picked up by children’s libraries!
