About the book
New York Times bestselling adult novelist Adriana Trigiani and beloved illustrator Amy June Bates have joined forces to create a heartwarming picture book centered around a family's celebration of Valentine's Day.
Mia Valentina Amore has a deep love for valentines, as her very name means My Valentine. On Valentine's Day, she awakens to what seems like just another ordinary morning in the Amore house nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge mountains of Appalachia. However, as the day unfolds, her home is magically transformed into a sanctuary of love - the House of Love. Mia and her mother decorate the halls, construct a gumdrop tree, bake scrumptious cupcakes, and most importantly, craft valentines for each of her six siblings. Yet, when Mia finds herself without a valentine of her own, she begins to question if her mother may have forgotten her.
New York Times bestselling novelist and filmmaker Adriana Trigiani has beautifully woven a touching tale of a mother and daughter, celebrating the essence of Valentine's Day as well as any day that unites a family. Renowned illustrator Amy June Bates infuses warmth and comfort into the narrative, emphasizing the notion that love is the most vital ingredient, regardless of one's origins.
