Our Review

This engaging guide to Valentine's Day traditions offers young readers a comprehensive look at the holiday's history, from ancient Roman festivals to modern celebrations of love between family and friends. The book thoughtfully explains why we exchange cards, wear red and pink colors, and decorate with heart symbols, while providing hands-on activities that bring these customs to life through interactive participation.

What sets this resource apart is its emphasis on inclusive celebrations that extend beyond romantic relationships to include classroom friendships and family bonds. The accessible explanations of Valentine's Day origins combined with creative activity suggestions make it particularly valuable for elementary-aged children curious about holiday traditions. Readers will finish with both knowledge about why we observe this day of affection and practical ideas for making their own meaningful celebrations.
