The light pink pages, cheerful illustrations, and homespun authenticity of the text will appeal to children. The cozy Appalachian mountain setting shines through. A sweet story highlighting nonromantic love during the Valentine season. Kirkus Reviews
“A sweet read for anyone who appreciates simple expressions of joy and the tenderness of a child’s holiday cheer. School Library Journal
Narrator Jasmine Guy infuses warmth into this classic children's Valentine's Day story.
