In reply to Dahlia. Dahlia - thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad you stopped by my blog, and I'm sorry you had trouble commenting there. You can always email me (sunlitpages {at} gmail {dot} com) if that's easier. And thanks for the book recommendation--sometimes the best books are found in the most unlikely places. :-) We'll have to check it out!

In reply to Jami Babcock. Thanks, Jami! We haven't read that book, so I just reserved it at our library. It looks really fun!

In reply to Emily C.. What a great idea! Also wanted to share a wonderful Valentine's Day book to check out: The Great Valentine's Day Balloon Race by Adrienne Adams...all her other books with the Abbots who are rabbits are delightful as well!

In reply to Emily C.. Emily - I've seen some other "hug in the mail" ideas as well, but I wanted to make ours a little more meaningful. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the book rec!

In reply to Melissa @ WhatToReadToYourKids.com. Melissa - I saw your blog post this morning before reading your comment here and also thought it went along perfectly with this book and activity! We are definitely thinking along similar lines!

The poem written by Amy's husband is fantastic! My parents will love it. I couldn't find a way to thank Amy herself through sunlit pages, so if you can pass it on to her I would appreciate it. Her blog is very cool too, I subscribed. Thanks for featuring her post on The Giant Hug.

I love a book I bought (at the grocery store!) called At the End Of the Rainbow by A H Benjamin, illust. by John Bendall-Brunello. Two friends find out their friendship is greater than the treasure at the end of the rainbow. Its not too sappy for a 5 year old. My daughter's middle name is Tesoro (treasure) and I use the book to remind her that she is my greatest treasure.

Happy V day.

Amy, I love your idea. We've seen ideas for sending a hug in the mail but the addition of good deeds is wonderful for far away family. (Thanks for the book recommendation too.)
One of our favorite reads for Valentine's is Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch.

In reply to Melissa @ WhatToReadToYourKids.com. Isn't it great? We are too late to get one to the grandparents this Valentine's Day, but we are going to make and send one "just because."
