My favorite books for little Valentines!

One of the things I have always loved about Barefoot Books is their ability to draw the reader closer to the listener. Or Me as a parent closer to my kids. The language and art give you the feeling you are sharing something magical and special even after the 100th reading!

Valentines Day is a day to get closer to the people you love in your life! And so I humbly present some fantastic books to share with your little (and bigger) loved ones!

Someone I Like

Poems About People

Compiled by: Judith Nicholls
Illustrated by: Giovanni Manna

"This book makes a wise assumption: children are intelligent and will take from each poem what they can. Some children will delight in the sounds of the poems, some in the content, and others will find joy in both." - BookPage
Each poem gives me such joy to read aloud. I hope this has contributed to my daughter and son loving poetry and having a great self image, too!!
