Dear 'Red',

Your wings are so beautiful!

I wish you were my friend.

Or EVEN my valentine?

From 'Blue'

Love is in the garden air on Valentine's Day, but Ladybird is feeling all left out … until she opens a letter from a secret admirer. Could it really be from handsome blue Dragonfly? Ladybird is overjoyed! And who is shy Beetle writing to? All will be revealed at a magical moonlit wedding … and you're invited!
