10 Adorable Valentine’s Day Books + 3 of Our Favorite Bookstores in Columbus

It must be all the pink associated with Valentine’s Day that just makes my heart sing with my girls this time of year! Also, I throughly enjoy that some of my favorite colors are everywhere to be found in Target in the midst of gloomy winter. Oh, the fact that the girly children’s books that surround this holiday are just the cutest things I’ve ever seen – perfect to pull out year after year. Yeah, I guess there’s a lot of things to love about Valentine’s Day 🙂 Anyways, here are our favorite books for this holiday!

(Exact bookshelves can be found here)

Catch a Kiss: The fan favorite of this bunch, for sure! A memorable story about blowing and catching kisses from mama.

Llama Llama I Love You: One of our faves!

Flora the Flamingo: Okay, so this wordless picture book isn’t exactly a Valentine’s Day book but it’s a sweet, lovable story, with the most beautiful cover, nonetheless!

Love is a Tutu: For the ballerina types 🙂

The Pink Umbrella: A longer story – definitely for the older kiddos – with gorgeous illustrations and a stellar storyline.

The Night Before Valentine’s Day: To the tune of The Night Before Christmas, we love this one!

Where is Baby’s Valentine?: A life-the-flap style story, trying to find baby’s valentine 🙂

Bunny Roo, I Love You: The most precious story with animals.

Counting Kisses: We love this cute Karen Katz book. It’s a “kiss and read” book!

Emma: An simple emotions book. I love the illustrations and emotions depicted in this story for little toddlers!

Also, Columbus enthusiasts…

The following are my utmost favorite bookstores in the city. Would love to hear any other recommendations you have!

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization
Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simp Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simple. // I’ve been absent on social this week, actually really since the change of the New Year.  This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
