The Love Tank
The Love Tank explores the essential values of love, kindness, empathy, and compassion, presenting a unique approach to assist children in understanding these concepts.

The book beautifully explains the implications of having a full or empty love tank, prompting children to comprehend the impact it can have on their (and others’) emotions and behaviors.
Kirkus Reviews granted The Love Tank a “recommended” review status stating, “our verdict: get it,” and commented on the book, applauding its ability to “creatively encourage preschoolers to regulate their emotions and practice kindness.” Similarly, Readers’ Favorite hailed it as a “charming love story,” highlighting how the metaphor of the love tank makes it easier for younger children to grasp complex situations discussed in the book.

Teachers have also embraced The Love Tank as a valuable resource to foster compassion and understanding in the classroom. Victoria K., a teacher, lauded the way the love tank concept was presented in the book, emphasizing that it helped her relay the message that there are no good or bad people, only individuals with full or empty love tanks. Nikki H., another reader, revealed how the book facilitated a heartfelt conversation about bullying with her children.
With its colorful graphics and illustrations, The Love Tank appeals to young children, captivating their imagination and sparking important conversations about love, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Mendoza-Vasconez’s masterful storytelling and Rita Nilson’s heartfelt illustrations create a captivating reading experience for both children and adults alike.
