This book is stunning. It tells the story of Valentina and her lifelong relationship with love and Valentine’s Day. Through the story, she also comes into more of her Vietnamese culture, and diverse Asian cultures at large through lion dancing. Every piece of this story is intentional, and the art is equally as beautiful and important.
