Valentine’s Day gifts for children: a book about love

A little reminder that they’re loved

Valentine’s Day is a chance to say the things we sometimes take for granted. For a child, that can mean a story starring them, with a foreword from you about what makes them special. Choose love or friendship as your message, and we’ll create a story about caring for one another without making it too sugary. The illustrations are drawn from a photo, so your child can recognise themselves on every page.

Themes with heart

A story about fairies, a trip to Sweet Land or a bedtime story all suit the day. If you’d like the story to be about family, grandparents can join in too: see our books from grandparents or the story idea A day at Grandma’s.

From a grandparent or godparent

Valentine’s Day is a lovely chance to send your love from far away. Add a photo of the child and one of yourself, and you can be heroes in the same story. The foreword can be your letter to them. The eBook can be emailed as a gift on the same day; the hardback takes two to three weeks. See prices.

A story for siblings to share

A book about two siblings helping each other, or about a child and their new baby brother or sister, says something about love without preaching. You can include up to five characters, each illustrated from their own photo.
