Mercy Watson creators Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen reunite to make a warm and toasty holiday classic boasting a special press-out valentine. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt's Valentine's Day and Stella Endicott is feeling dreary. But when she delivers a valentine to Mercy Watson's house, Mrs. Watson invites her in to join them in making heart-shaped toast (with a great deal of butter, cinnamon, and sugar). On her way home, Stella bumps into the mail carrier Norman Fenzer, who says his heart is as heavy as a mailbag full of valentines that are never for him. As the sounds of Eugenia Lincoln's mournful accordion waft through the trees, Stella suddenly gets an idea--a surefire way she can lift her friends' hearts, and her own. Whether they are longtime fans or first-time visitors to Mercy Watson's world, readers will feel their own spirits lighten as they follow a beloved cast of characters through the streets of Gizzford in this pitch-perfect picture-book valentine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate DiCamillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercy Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.48h x 9.46w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536216332","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":67798564667437,"sku":"9781536216332","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/9781536216332.jpg?v=1793900114","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/love-and-mercy-9781536216332","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
