Bookroo's summary

Ruby Valentine adores spreading love on Valentine's Day, but oversleeps and misses it. With her parrot Lovebird's encouragement, she decides to deliver her heartfelt messages a day late. Will her town still welcome her belated tokens of affection, or has she missed her chance? Discover how love transcends time in this charming tale.

From the publisher

Deep in the heart of Heartland lives Ruby Valentine and her trusty parrot Lovebird. Ruby’s favorite day of the year is Valentine’s Day–she loves to say “I love you” and make cards and treats to deliver to everyone in her town. But Ruby is so exhausted that she sleeps right through the holiday. Although Ruby is worried that she’ll have to wait a whole year to tell everyone that she loves them, Lovebird convinces her to deliver her treats and messages of love even though they’re a day late. To Ruby’s surprise, no one minds.
