When it suddenly starts to rain hearts in this miniature picture-book from 1983, young Cornelia Augusta realizes that Valentine's Day must be close, and, taking advantage of the downpour, gathers the little red objects to her. Making Valentines from the windfall, she mails her missives of love to her friends, spreading the spirit of the holiday far and wide...

Although familiar with Felicia Bond's name, through the illustrations she contributed to the blockbuster picture-book series begun in If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this little volume is the first of her own titles I have picked up. First published as Four Valentines in a Rainstorm (the edition I read), it was reprinted in 2002 as The Day It Rained Hearts, and has remained in print under that title. I found it a sweet little book, appreciating its whimsical story and simple but expressive art. It is a small book, which no doubt adds to its charm. Recommended to picture-books looking for matter-of-factly magical Valentine's Day stories.… (mais)

This is a book about a girl who catches Valentines as they fall out of the sky for her friends. It is a cute story to tie into Valentines Day.

The illustrations were simple and soft. The story was about Roger and his class as they prepared for a school play and he is nervous about his part. When it is finally the night of the play, Roger is getting scared, counting down the lines until he has to go out and perform. He powers through his anxiety and the play goes great. At the end, Roger's father takes a picture of him, but Roger knows that he will never forget that moment for the rest of his life.
