Valerie’s Favorite Thing: A Heartwarming Tale of Kindness and Connection

Can a missing treasure turn into an unexpected gift?

Valerie’s shiny gold star pin is more than just a piece of jewelry-it’s her favorite thing in the whole world. Given to her by her Grandma Lucy to help her through a sad time, the pin is a sparkling reminder of love and comfort.

But one morning, the pin is gone!

Valerie searches everywhere. She looks under her bed, inside her toy box, and even in her desk drawers. She worries her little sister might have taken it, or that it might be lost forever. Just when Valerie thinks her treasure is gone for good, she makes a surprising discovery in the backyard playhouse that changes everything.

In this beautifully written picture book, children will learn:

• The Power of Empathy: How a simple act of kindness can brighten someone’s darkest day.

• The Value of Connection: Why the things we share with others are often more valuable than the things we keep.

• Emotional Resilience: Navigating big feelings like loss, sadness, and the joy of making a new friend.

Perfect for fans of The Invisible String and All Are Welcome, Valerie’s Favorite Thing is a gentle reminder that while objects may come and go, the impact of our kindness stays forever.
