Monster Love and Big Truths
"This is such an adorable book. On the surface we meet monsters who do NOT like Valentines Day, and we meet Snoodle, the most adorable monster you ever did see who is out to convince his monster friends that Valentines Day is great. Along the way, they mess up all Snoodle's attempts, from gooping up the Valentine boxes to popping his balloons. But love is patient, kind, isn't quick to anger, doesn't remember mistakes and sees the heart behind the mess. With adorable illustrations and a depth that speaks to the true nature of love, this is a book for all ages."

Super fun and heartwarming too!
"Be My Valenslime takes the monster story and flips it on its head. Snoodle is a monster who loves sparkles and Valentine’s Day and has to figure out a way share that love with the other monters. This is a sweet, gentle, and heartwarming story that shows Snoodle being very flexible while learning how to love the unexpected. I especially enjoyed this story because it also played with my expectations as a reader! The illustrations are colorful, childlike, and totally engaging! This book belongs on every bookshelf!"

Heartwarming and fun!
"Be My Valenslime is a heartwarming and endearing story that shows and teaches the power of leading with kindness and love. Monsters are supposed to be grumpy, and Valentines are not very monstery at all, but with a little love and acceptance, Snoodle shows the monsters just how much fun it can be, and in turn, learns how patient, kind, and accepting love is. The illustrations by Cori Doerrfeld are the prefect complement for this sweet and fun story. Amazing book!"

"Be My ValenSlime is a monstrously good book about the true foundation of the holiday: Love. Based on 1 Corinthians, the monsters in the story learn all about what love is all about. From being patient and kind to not dwelling on the faults and mistakes of others, kids will learn an important message about how to love others. The colorful illustrations of the monster messes will catch the attention of young readers and may elicit some giggles!"
