A Stickler Valentine

“Smith….continues to impress with artwork that’s both visually striking and unmistakably his own—cool, textured, and full of character. A whimsical holiday read.” —School Library Journal“A visual treat for readers. Once again, Stickler’s irrepressible expressions and radiant joy, set within a softly rendered world, are sure to deliver tenderness at the right time of year.” —Booklist
