Your Valentine

By Anthony DeStefano

Valentine's Day is more than paper cards and candy hearts--it's a celebration of a heroic Catholic saint who gave his life for love. Your Valentine brings the inspiring true story of St. Valentine to children in a beautifully rhymed, captivating narrative that parents will treasure reading aloud.

Set in ancient Rome, this picture book follows the secret ministry of Bishop Valentine, who risked everything to marry Christian couples during a time of persecution. Along the way, children will meet Marcus, a young boy with a limp, and Marcella, a blind girl whose life is changed forever through a miracle of faith and love.

With heartwarming characters, vivid storytelling, and timeless themes of courage, friendship, and God's love, Your Valentine offers families a much-needed way to reclaim the sacred meaning of February 14. It's the perfect read for Catholic households seeking to instill a deeper appreciation for the saints and the power of Christian love.

This book transforms what many now believe to be a secular holiday into a beautiful opportunity for faith formation and family bonding.

Teach your children the truth about Valentine's Day--and introduce them to the saint who died for love.
