VALENTINES DAY

By Cynthia Rylant


 “If you’ll be my valentine
I’ll kiss you on the nose.
I’ll scratch your ears
And rub your head
And pet your little toes. “

"A little boy makes valentines for his loved ones, remembering all the things each recipient likes best. "
A sweet, comforting, reassuring little book of rhymes expressing everything the boy loves about his family, his friends, and his pets.
Cynthia Rylant is an incredible author whose simple language transcends simplicity into poetry.  More about her in future blog posts.
