I love this one. I love the song, and I love the way the story is turned into being about building a park.

Marley has adapted her father Bob Marley’s famous song into this picture book. The book follows the same arc as the song, but is simplified considerably. Fans of the song will definitely try to sing along with the words since they are so iconic. Children who don’t know the song will discover a vibrant picture book where the words give the emotion, but the pictures tell the story. It’s the story of a community coming together to turn a vacant lot into a park, One Love Park.

Yes, it’s that song and it’s been reworked by that songwriter’s daughter (take a second look at her last name if you think I joke.) Like some of the more popular songs of the Beatles, this one is both trite and profound in its simplicity. The illustrations are brilliantly colored and that lifts the song a bit out of its jarring repetition.
“One love,
one heart,
let’s get together
and feel all right!”
