Hugs and Hearts — Toni Trent Parker

A soft padded cover, rhyming verse, and colorful photographs of young African-American children make up this warm celebration of Valentine's Day by Toni Trent Parker and photographer Earl Anderson.

What do you think of when you think of Valentine's Day? Greeting cards! Candy! Lots of love! All those things -- and more -- are found in HUGS AND HEARTS. A convenient 9x71/2 trim size, with a soft, padded cover, this holiday title is made up of 16 lush cardstock pages. Toni Trent Parker has filled each spread with snappy verse focusing on all the things that young children identify with in their celebration of Valentine's Day. Earl Anderson's striking, full-color photographs of adorable African-American children very effectively illustrate the text.
