Celebrate Love and Literature with Valentine’s Day Books for Kids
There is nothing more cozy and comforting than snuggling up with my kids to read. From my teen, down to my babies, I love reading with my children. We love incorporating holidays and seasons into our library trips. I wanted to create a list of our favorite Valentine’s Day books for kids so that myself and other homeschooling and stay at home mama’s have a place to reference.
