Author Information

The Love Is... phenomenon - endearing cartoons that bring smiles to the faces of everyone who sees them - began in the 1960s in the heart of artist Kim Casali. By nature shy, Kim created these little ""love notes"" to express her feelings for a man named Roberto, the man she would eventually marry. She left her sweet drawings for him everywhere, in the pocket of his jeans, under his pillow, on the seat of his car, even in his sock drawer. Unbeknownst to her, Roberto kept each and every one of them. Believing his wife's drawings to be something very special, he decided to show them to someone in the syndication business who agreed that their heartfelt message should be made public.
