This website may provide links to independent booksellers, online retailers, event venues, social media platforms, or other third-party websites where you can purchase To the Little One I Love or learn more about related events and activities.
Purchases made through third-party websites are processed by those third parties, not by this website. We generally do not receive or store your payment card information when you make a purchase through an external retailer.
Your activity on third-party websites is governed by the privacy policies and terms of those websites.

Children’s Privacy
Although Victoria Puccinelli writes books for children and families, this website is intended primarily for parents, caregivers, educators, booksellers, members of the media, and other adults.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through the website without appropriate parental or guardian consent, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
