But when she delivers a valentine to Mercy Watson’s house, Mrs. Watson invites her in to join them in making heart-shaped toast (with a great deal of butter, cinnamon, and sugar). On her way home, Stella bumps into the mail carrier Norman Fenzer, who says his heart is as heavy as a mailbag full of valentines that are never for him. As the sounds of Eugenia Lincoln’s mournful accordion waft through the trees, Stella suddenly gets an idea—a surefire way she can lift her friends’ hearts, and her own. Whether they are longtime fans or first-time visitors to Mercy Watson’s world, readers will feel their own spirits lighten as they follow a beloved cast of characters through the streets of Gizzford in this pitch-perfect picture-book valentine.\u003cb\u003eKate DiCamillo \u003c\/b\u003eis the beloved author of many books for young readers, including the Mercy Watson and Tales from Mercy Watson’s Deckawoo Drive series.
