Synopsis: "New York Times"-bestselling author Rosenthal and award-winning illustrator Reynolds have teamed together for the first time for this story about a little girl who plants a kiss and watches it grow--with sparkling results. Full color.

Review: 5 Stars - Plant a Kiss is a sweet story about giving and sharing such kindness with everyone.

With lots of joy to share from a sprouting, then growing sparkles, a little girl goes on to spread the joy to everyone. It tells so much about what something so little can do and it tells a lot about the thoughtfulness of one little girl in her quest to share it with everyone she meets.

The illustrations might be simple, yet they are affective and in their own way beautiful as Little Miss takes her journey from idea, to planting, to waiting, to sharing. Another great one that I recommend to families.
