When Bigfoot loses the valentines he meant to send to his fellow monsters in hiding, scouts from all over the world come together to deliver the letters.


It's lonely being a monster. But having other mythical pen pals helps. When Bigfoot loses the Valentine's Day cards he so tenderly made for his friends around the world, a troop of scouts offers to help. But they will have to get creative to find every mythical creature in time! Sarah Glenn Marsh and Ishaa Lobo team up again for a sweet Valentine's Day tale about the value of friends, both new and old.

"A spunky blend of silly and sweet that will serve as an introvert’s holiday treat." --PW

"Marsh’s tender tale takes an expansive, global view and demonstrates that anyone can experience loneliness . . . A heartfelt reminder that everyone needs love—even monsters." --Kirkus Reviews

"Bigfoot is known to be unknown—enigmatic, elusive, perhaps even scary! But what if he’s just a nervous lil' guy? . . .This tale of friendship, loneliness, and finding those who understand will be a fun, thematic read-aloud." -- Booklist

"[A] tender tale . . . that allows children to consider perspectives in an interesting way." --School Library Journal
