This book explores elementary school crushes and the sensitive feelings children have at such a young age. In this book Little Bill has a secret that he wants to tell the reader. It is Valentine's Day and Little Bill is smitten with a young lady in his classroom named Mia. Some of Little Bill's friends can see that he has a crush on Mia and begin to tease him. Little Bill struggles with his feelings, he likes Mia but he doesn't want to be teased by his friends.

I chose this book because my daughter is experiencing some of the same feelings as Little Bill. Young love comes and goes but a child's feelings are just as real as an adults and deserve to be treated with sensitivity and respect. I would highly recommend this book to any young reader.
