This is a special Valentine’s Day read-aloud to send love to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. It’s an opportunity for classrooms to share their heart reactions and “rain love” for those who need it most, and to use the power of story to bring us all together. Scholastic is also partnering with LitWorld to donate 4,000 books to local community book stores in L.A. who are getting free books into the hands of children and families affected by the fires.

Celebrate love in its many forms—from the boundless love parents and caregivers have for their little ones, to the tremendous love of a lifelong friendship, to the boundless love of a grandparent. This is a heartfelt message to share with those we cherish. Like a song we have known all our lives, we love them by heart. Available through Scholastic Book Clubs.
