I have planted kisses...on the top of my child's head, on tiny baby toes, and on the tip of a turned up nose...but never in the garden. Who would think to actually plant a kiss? A child of course. The kind of free spirited child conjured up in the imagination of one brilliant author, Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Plant a Kiss speaks volumes about caring, kindness and love using just a few rhyming words per page. If you've ever planted a garden you know it takes water, sunshine, and lots of waiting before seeds sprout and bloom. Imagine the faith and patience it takes to wait for a kiss to sprout. Rosenthal's determined Little Miss begins to doubt then pout but just when you think she might give up, turn the page and there is the sprout! Magical, sparkly kisses grow and children gather to stare and stare. And what will happen if you share? Will the garden go bare? Our little gardener decides to spread her kisses everywhere. Award winning author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds has created the perfect images to express all the emotions Little Miss feels in this charming picture book. Passionate. Poignant. Perfect for all ages, young and old.
