May you have a fun day today, spending it with friends and loved ones. Here are a few picture books, read by various YouTubers, that celebrate the holiday of love. Not just romantic love, but all kinds of love.
Here Comes Valentine Cat, written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Claudia Rueda
“I know he’s a dog. Maybe he’s a nice dog.”
Read (or watch) this book to see if Cat befriends his new neighbor.
A Charlie Brown Valentine by Charles M. Schultz
“Charlie Brown is too scared. ‘She’s something, and I’m nothing,’ he explains. ‘If I were something and she were nothing, I could talk to her. Or if she were something and I were something. Or if she were nothing and I were nothing—’
‘You know, Charlie Brown, for a nothing, you’re really something!’ Linus says.”
Will Charlie Brown ever tell the little red-headed girl he likes her? Find out in this book.
Note: Don’t tell your friends that your dog is really a kid in a costume. It won’t work.
If You Were My Valentine, written by Lynn Plourde and illustrated by Jennifer L. Meyer.
“If you were my valentine, there’s something you should hear. You would be my valentine…EVERY day of the year.”
I shared this book with you in a past blog post, and it’s worth mentioning again. Look at all the gorgeous illustrations.
