It is a small book, which no doubt adds to its charm. I found it a sweet little book, appreciating its whimsical story and simple but expressive art. 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. Making Valentines from the windfall, she mails her missives of love to her friends, spreading the spirit of the holiday far and wide.Īlthough 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. 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. ![]()
