A comprehensive collection of children’s books about Valentine’s Day, including favorite characters! Perfect to read with your kids for the holiday.
Valentine’s Day. A holiday both adults and kids celebrate but in different ways. While parents head to dinner and bring flowers, kids pass out candy grams and Valentine notes and dress in red during school.
In a typical classroom, kids enjoy a celebration with decorating, Valentine’s Day activities, and passing out cards and trinkets. We adults tend to schedule a date night. And we buy chocolates and flowers, hand gifts to our significant others, and dress in red for the day.
And a perfect way to highlight the day of love with your kids? Reading Valentine’s Day books.

I love celebrating holidays by reading about them with my kids. Many of these sweet stories are classic characters kids already love, but with a Valentine’s twist. They’re funny, heartwarming, and decked out in red. And they talk about how we celebrate love, from our special someone to a special friendship.
