Dearest reader, I love you. Though I’m not a big fan of the holiday, it seems fitting that I get to talk about books and love. There are few things I love more than sharing books, so thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I love. As a former elementary school teacher, I can get behind the kid version of this holiday. Kids truly got this one right. Valentine’s Day is about sweets, arts and crafts, and everybody in the class giving and receiving punny cards. Furthermore, Valentine’s Day in the kid world is broader than in the world of disenchanted grownups. For kids, V-Day is about all kinds of love. While adults are mostly caught up in romantic love and all of its complications, kids are thinking bigger. They’re showing love to their friends, their caregivers, and all the other people in their lives who make the world better by being in it. So let’s look at some Valentine’s books for kids that capture childlike wisdom of the Valentine’s season. For this list, we’re considering books that are specifically about Valentine’s Day, as well as others that encourage love and appreciation. Enjoy!
