Valentine #30 December 1967
In "Love Is All Around," a quiet Christmas Eve unfolds as a young woman sets up a makeshift babysitting sign, hoping to help local mothers shop in peace—only to find herself unexpectedly swamped by a stream of children, each dropped off by the same hesitant man. Jim Baikie’s expressive art captures the gentle humor and growing warmth of a shy courtship unfolding through small, tender gestures, all set against the cozy backdrop of a winter afternoon.

After putting up a sign saying she would look after kids to allow their moms to do their Christmas shopping in peace, she gets no business until one man keeps dropping off different children. Joe had borrowed the kids from his sister's Christmas play as an excuse to ask her out. But each time he dropped a kid off he was too shy to ask her out.
