Laura The Llama Celebrates Valentine’s Day Sneak Peak
Laura the llama starts her day extremely grumpy and it only gets worse when she realizes she FORGOT that it’s Valentine’s Day! So she retreated to the pond by herself to reflect and relax, and the idea came to her like a blessing from above. She ran to the barn and got ready. And then she offered everyone on the farm free hairstyles!
A great book to share with your kids about the love language: acts of service. Laura the llama had to think of how best she could show her friends and family how much she loves them on the national day of love, and the fact that she thought of hairstyles is a lovely depiction that you don’t always have to give someone something – like chocolates or a card – but rather do something for them!
