Er det muligt at fortælle en historie med kun ti ord? Dét er det!Jospeh Coelho gjorde det i den populære bog Bittesmå ti-ords historier (2023) og nu vover han endda at gøre det med et virkelig stort emne som omdrejningspunkt: Bittesmå ti-ords historier om kærlighed. En bog om vidt forskellige former for kærlighed: kærlighed til stærke farver, til en fumlefingret lillebror, til et band som får publikum til at svæve, til verdens største hund ... og mange andre forunderlige skabninger. Alle fortalt med præcis ti ord. Hver illustreret af en ny tegner. Og til slut en udfordring til selv at forsøge sig med at folde en ti-ords historie ud. Og dermed også en kærlighedserklæring til sprog.
