My husband & I used to know a wonderful couple, who over the years, the husband would send birthday cards to the wives of his friends, with a little verse and a balloon! I'll never forget his kindness & bringing a smile to the "birthday girl".

Little shots of verse, perfect for quick readings. This is a good one to take to the coffee shop to read in-between people watching.

"Valentines" is not the typical Valentine's Day sentimental poetry. The poems are 'homespun' and reflect the history of the prairie. Each poem is illustrated by line drawings of Robert Hanna.
