Love is Love is a music video designed for preschoolers celebrating love and the diversity of families. Encouraging inclusion and acceptance, this catchy song shows children how colorful and different families can be. It explains to them that they might have one mum one dad, same-sex parents, or might be looked after by their grandparents, it is love that counts and binds them all together. Set on Pride day, the video applauds diversity and portrays a vibrant march where families of all shapes and sizes march together and sing. It carries a strong message that all families are different but they love each other just the same.


Juror's comments: This 2D animated short music video is set to an upbeat, and gently rolling song about families and love. It encourages love to be the glue for inclusiveness in order to normalize stigma which may be aimed at children with same-sex parents, or children raised by a grandmother, aunt, or uncle. The best part of the animation is that all of the characters are different colors - pink, blue, green, yellow, an entire rainbow of colors. It is super sweet! The last verse of the song rallies people to march through life-supporting different colors, creeds, and genders!


The message of Love is Love is just that “love is love” and kindness and good parenting are what counts in a child's life.


I give Love is Love 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 4 to 18. By Nancy K.KIDS FIRST!
