BOBBY AND THE BIG VALENTINE:

In this charming debut picture book, a young boy makes the biggest, most sparkly valentine that he can for his crush. But how will his grand gesture be received?
"From the day they’d met, and every day since, it had always been Bobby and Eddie—Eddie and Bobby."
Bobby and Eddie do everything together, and that's the way they both like it. But when Bobby starts to have feelings for Eddie beyond friendship, he knows he needs to reveal them—and Valentine's Day is the perfect time! He crafts a valentine fit for someone as special as Eddie, his favorite person. But how will Eddie react when Bobby reveals his crush?
Timmy Woitas's tender, relatable text matched with Addy Rivera Sonda's appealing and emotive illustrations make this a perfect pick for Valentine's Day!

Claire Tattersfield is the New York Times bestselling author of Cupig, illustrated by Rob Sayegh Jr. An avid writer of satire, she found that her work on her college's satire newspaper translated phenomenally to writing books for children, so she did a heel-turn and found herself in the children's book world. A native of Nashville, Tennessee, she now lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her partner and far too many books.

Timmy Woitas grew up in Western Pennsylvania but now lives in New York City. By day, he works as a publishing professional. By night, he is asleep. He aims to write the queer-centered stories he wished for when he was a kid. Bobby and the Big Valentine is his picture book debut.
