Read this story!

If you are like me, many of the details will remind you of your own classroom Valentine traditions. And if you get the right candy heart, the ending will be sweet and rewarding; our author guarantees it!

A truly beautiful story for Valentines Day.

A lovely story of how two young boys Billy and Chico discover the true power of friendship, separation and much more all because of a special Valentines card.

 

Response from the author:

Thanks very much for your assessment and endorsement, Chris.  I appreciate it.

A Valentine box story. I’ve never heard of this classroom activity but the author uses it to be a box of hope during long years of separation. So much is packed into this story and it needs a second read to get the most out of it.

I was never a fan of short stories before GA but this is a great example of what a skillful author can achieve.  Great read!

Response from the author:

Thanks very much for your encouragement, Gary, and for taking the time to post a review.

A short and sweet reminder that Valentine's Day is the time of the year when the heart gets its best exercise.

@Geron Kees Somehow, I missed this one the first time around.  Thanks, once again, for your support and kind comments :)
