Picture Book Wednesday: Valentine's Day Books

Here are some cute books perfect for Valentine's Day

Picture Books:

This is a sweet story about a child who creates hearts and then gives them away with thoughts of love and kindness. There are so many ways to say "I love you" - with words, with actions, and with kindness. Love is easy to share with family, friends, and your community. 

I love the concept of this book, and I really hope it inspires people to share hearts and to increase their acts of kindness. I love the fun illustrations and how the book shows love through the five senses.

Pour over this book with someone special as you look for all the hidden objects. 

One child paints the sky with love and love rains over the community. The child and their mother have a lovely day filled with love and happiness. 

I do love the last line; the sentiment in this story is sweet. 

This counting backwards book is sweet with lots of love. The illustrations are soft with pink and reds.

Board Books:

Not a Valentine's book - but a book of parent/child love filled with mushroom puns. 

Another book about parent/child love - with the addition of colors.

Each color is part of the rainbow and the text rhymes. Lots of different animals showcased in this book.

More animal parent/child love - with puns and a confetti shaker heart. Super cute!

Board Books (12): Love

  We just bought a bunch of new board books for our library.

I'll be talking about a few favorites over the next couple months

This week, it's all about love, family, and community

This is a sweet story with moments between mother and daughter. The illustrations are gorgeous. 

An excellent book about the meaning of community and how we're all better together. It's a great message to share with a young child and start them thinking about others and ways to help. Lots of bright colors, diversity, and inclusivity. 

Life is an adventure and doesn't always follow the path you thought you would take. This board book has a great message and fantastic illustrations. 

I always love Vashi Harrison's books - from the inspiring messages to the gorgeous illustrations. Just perfection.

When mother and daughter are apart, they miss each other. But Mama has some comforting words to share. Adorable! Both in the sweet message and the illustrations.

Spreading the message of kindness in all the various ways. Bright colors and few words get this huge message across in a delightful way. 

Gorgeous illustrations share the meaning of love and how love rules the world. While this is a long book, the short words make it a quick read. There's lots to see with the illustrations.

The sweetest thought from a mother to her baby - sleep well and be happy. The illustrations are gorgeous in the fantastic picture book. Great for a baby shower gift!
