physician for whom Valentine's Day is named. The story

the death of Christ. Valentine is a follower of the new
Christian faith and is persecuted for his beliefs. When
he is arrested, he sends a note to a young blind girl he

out the rest of the story. Rachel and Sarah highly
recommend this book for both the story and the
wonderful mosaic style illustrations.

This book tells two stories in one. First, it tells of
the legend of the Roman Christian physician
Valentine and how his name became associated
with the valentines we send on Valentine's Day.
Drawing upon the theme of forgiveness to unite the
two stories, It also tells a story of the Civil Rights
Movement that took place in the United States
during the 1960s. Highly recommended by the
Book Nuts.
by Eileen Spinelli
This is the perfect Valentine's Day book. Mr. Hatch
lives a very ordered and boring life. He doesn't smile
much, and he doesn't talk to other people very much.
Read this book to find out how a simple message
changes Mr. Hatch's life. Highly recommended by
Rachel and Sarah.

Ms. Halperin takes the words the apostle Paul wrote to
the Corinthians and illustrates them in this lovely
picture book. It's a great book to read on Valentine's
Day or any day of the year. The pictures are very
intricate and you can find something new every time
you look at them. Recommended by the Book Nuts.
