Kai’s family is excited for the upcoming holiday. Everyone makes valentines, Kai and Dad hang decorations, and Mom bakes heart-shaped cookies. At bedtime, Kai signs “I love you” to Mom and Dad (though Kai doesn’t appear to be deaf). The next morning is extra special. Dad hands Kai a huge valentine, Mom whips up heart-shaped pancakes, and Dad snaps a photo of Kai to send to Nana. At school, Kai’s teacher asks the students to list things they love; she draws images of their answers on the board. Later, the students make mailboxes before delivering cards to one another. Kai frets a bit—what if Kai doesn’t get any valentines? But the teacher reminds the children to make a card for everyone so that no one feels left out. When at last the students open their boxes, they’re delighted to have received mail. Kai’s best friend, Chelsea, says, “This is the most beautiful card I’ve ever seen, Kai!” The class enjoys a very happy Valentine’s Day indeed. Children will appreciate this upbeat traditional holiday book, full of cheer, warmth, and love. The teacher’s reminder to include everyone is laudable, while the images of wide-eyed, smiling children radiate joy. Kai’s family is brown-skinned, while the class is diverse.
