Whiskers and Wishes: A Valentine's Day Picture Book About Kindness

By Christine Dillard

Valentine's Day is about more than candy and cards.
Whiskers and Wishes is a gentle picture book that helps children explore kindness, forgiveness, and belonging.

In the quiet of an alley, a lonely cat watches families celebrate Valentine's Day from afar. When envy leads to one impulsive mistake, the cat is filled with regret-and a brave desire to make things right.

With yarn, buttons, and a hopeful heart, she creates a gift of her own. What follows is a tender moment of understanding, where kindness opens the door to belonging, and love is shown through effort.

Beautifully illustrated and emotionally resonant, Whiskers and Wishes invites young children to explore empathy, making amends, and the courage it takes to choose kindness.

Perfect for:

Children ages 3-8

Valentine's Day gifts for kids

Bedtime or classroom read-alouds

Teaching empathy, forgiveness, and emotional growth

A warm, thoughtful story that reminds readers big and small that love is something we grow-together.
