The Love Tank

When Andrea Mendoza-Vasconez’s young daughter witnessed her distress over a tragic school shooting, she sought a way to explain the inexplicable. The result is The Love Tank, a heartwarming children’s book that addresses complex emotional concepts in a simple and compassionate way.

Designed for children aged 4-8, The Love Tank introduces the idea of an internal “love tank” that, when full, empowers individuals to act with kindness and empathy. By using relatable imagery and gentle language, the book explains how negative actions can stem from an empty love tank and encourages children to fill their own tanks and those of others.

Mendoza-Vasconez’s personal experience inspired her to create a tool that helps parents navigate difficult conversations with their children. The Love Tank provides a framework for understanding complex emotions and promotes empathy, gratitude, and authenticity.

As the first book in a series of three, The Love Tank has already garnered recognition, including the prestigious 2024 Nautilus Award. The subsequent books, The Gratitude Goggles and The Puzzle Piece, continue to explore important socioemotional learning concepts in a child-friendly manner.

By sharing her own experiences and insights, Mendoza-Vasconez hopes to empower children to spread love and kindness, one full love tank at a time.
