Care and friendship on Valentine’s Day

Love Bug’s usual way of caring for friends—through flowers, hugs, songs, and comfort when they’re sad—is interrupted when she catches a cold and has to rest. The change gives this Valentine’s-themed story a simple focus: whether friendship remains present when someone cannot be the one doing the caring. Her buggy companions respond by cheering her up, bringing the exchange of affection into view. The premise pairs familiar holiday gestures with a small moment of vulnerability, making the story about both giving and receiving care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Valentine’s Day stories
  • Young readers who enjoy tales about friendship and caring for others

Book overview

Introducing the love-buggiest new character to steal your heart, from award-winning author-illustrator Lucy Ruth Cummins. Perfect for fans of Cupig and Love, Escargot, and just right for Valentine's Day or anytime you want to share the gift of love!

Love Bug loves spreading love! She showers her friends with flowers and wraps them with bumble-bear hugs, sings them songs and always has a tissue (or two!) when they're sad.

But when one day Love Bug wakes up with an itsy-bitsy buggy cold and has to stay in bed, she wonders - will her friends still be there for her if she can't show them love? Luckily, all her buggy buddies know just how to cheer up their sweet pal!
