Review: A reassuring book for children facing a transition
Rating: 4 out of 5

While Valentines might seem trivial to an adult, they symbolize acceptance and caring, something we all want and need. Moving, or any major life change, can be scary. Most of us, adults as well as children, experience anxiety when dealing with a transition. Facing the unknown, our imaginations tend to get carried away with negative possibilities. This book acknowledges those fears, as well as assuring the reader that everything will work out. Four stars instead of five, because, to me, the narrator's "voice" seemed inconsistent, and sometimes more like an adult than a child. The message gets through all the same.
