Spirit of Saint Valentine: An Expat’s Tale of Love

By Grant Simens (author), Dan Alexander (illustrator)
Published 2007

This is a strange story of Valentine’s Day love set in an International School. Cupid & Dove visit an elementary school seeking to bring love but instead creating confusion. Written by an 11 year old TCK in the form of a (very) long poem, it’s a sweet book but the cadence of the poem changes a lot and can be difficult to follow. The author includes his own tips for TCKs and parents of TCKs who are moving at the end. There’s also an odd bonus poem about fish dying.

Reading level: age 10-12
