What to show the children in your life that you love them? Read them a story! If you're looking for some holiday inspiration, try one of these Valentine's Day stories:
Love, Ruby Valentine by Laurie Friedman
Ruby Valentine's favorite holiday is - you guessed it - Valentine's Day, and she can't wait for the day to arrive so that she can tell everyone just how much they mean to her. But when her planning leaves Ruby exhausted she accidentally sleeps through the big day. Uh oh! Fortunately, Ruby learns that you don't need a special holiday to tell someone that you love them.
The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia BondHearts start falling from the sky just before Valentine's Day, and Cornelia Augusta decides that these hearts will make the perfect valentines to send. She decorates each heart differently and knows exactly who each special valentine will go to. This is the perfect story to include with a valentine-making activity as kids make their own special valentines to share.
Arthur's Valentine by Marc Brown
Everyone's favorite aardvark has a secret admirer! Who could it be?
Slugs in Love by Susan Pearson
Marylou and Herbie, two slugs, leave each other sweet love poems every day, but the two have never met. How will these star-crossed lovers find each other? OK, this book isn't exactly a Valentine's Day story, but every day is a good day for love, right?

You made valentines for each of your storytime kids?! WOW -- I must say it...Ms. Sandy is a superlibrarian!
In fairness, I usually only get about 30 kids at storytime over the course of the whole week so it's a little easier to do extra projects like this. If I had to make valentines for 150 kids, I might think twice about it. :)
