Whenever: Love You When... by Linda Kranz

"DO YOU THINK ABOUT ME DURING THE DAY?" YOU ASK.

A small heart-shaped rock asks the big red heart-shaped rock when he is the object of the red rock's thoughts.

The little rock, in a soft whisper, shyly says, "Tell me when."

The big Valentine-shaped rock pauses and begins to answer with all those times and places--sunrise and morning showers, showery summer afternoons with rainbows to discover, in sizzling sun and cool, soft breezes.  Just whenever.

And even when that moment is still to come.

I LOVE YOU WHEN I TURN THE PAGE ON THE CALENDAR

AND I WONDER WHAT REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES WE WILL SHARE IN THE MONTH TO COME.

"Rock art" artist Linda Kranz has a unique message of love in her latest, Love You When... (Taylor Trade, 2012) for all ages, illustrated by her eye-pleasing photos of brightly accented stones. "Artistically inspirational," opines Kirkus Reviews.
