It’s Valentine’s Day and Hello Kitty is spreading love to all her friends in this officially licensed picture book for fans of all ages!

Hello Kitty is hosting a Valentine’s Day party for all her best friends, complete with flowers, decorations, yummy treats, and, of course, homemade cards! My Melody and Keroppi come early to bring snacks and supplies for decorating both cards and boxes to hold them in. Pompompurin shows how much he cares by baking heart-shaped cookies while Chococat passes out sweet-smelling flowers before the epic dance party begins. Happy Valentine’s Day from Hello Kitty and Friends!
