The story draws from the Stamos family's personal experiences with hummingbirds, inspired by memories of Billy’s late grandfather and his grandmother’s comforting words, with Billy interpreting the grandparents as hummingbirds.

Love from Above, the debut picture book by Billy and John Stamos, was exclusively revealed by People and is described as coming from the hearts of father and son to readers.

John Stamos wrote and illustrated the book, marking his first collaboration with Billy on a literary project.

Targeted to readers aged 4 to 8, the story follows Christopher, who sees hummingbirds in his garden and learns from his dad that these birds symbolize loved ones who may be gone but not forgotten.

The project is a personal family endeavor designed to offer comfort, hope, and a smile when readers encounter a hummingbird in their surroundings.

Stamos emphasizes that love can endure beyond loss and may show up in small, meaningful moments—like hummingbirds returning to a garden.

Love from Above: A Story of Tiny Birds and Their Big Meaning, illustrated by Stamos, will be published by Penguin Workshop on April 20, 2027, with preorder available.
