(3) PS Illustrated by Addy Rivera Sonda. Bespectacled Bobby and gap-toothed Eddie are inseparable best friends. When Valentine’s Day approaches, Bobby worries over a gift; he wants to craft something as “colorful...and sparkly...and BIG” as his feelings for his friend, but what if Eddie rejects him? Bobby’s apprehension is tender, but his worries are quickly assuaged: Eddie has a “Big Valentine” of his own to share. This is a sweet depiction of the risks and rewards of vulnerability, with appealing candy-colored art to match.
