It’s Valentine’s at Sparkle: Collections and Stories for All The Ways We Love!

February is a month for love, friendship, and kindness — and at Sparkle, we celebrate these themes with stories that warm the heart and nurture connection.

We have 5 story collections that touch on Valentine’s Day themes, including 2 collections specifically dedicated to Valentine’s Day. Across all our content, you’ll find 12 stories that explore the many ways we share love and appreciation with those around us.

Whether you’re looking for stories about friendship, acts of kindness, or the joy of giving from the heart, our Valentine’s collections offer something special for every family. These stories help children understand that love comes in many forms — from the Valentine’s cards we make for friends to the thoughtful gestures we share with family.

Our Valentine’s Day Collections Include:

  • Stories that celebrate friendship and the bonds between people
  • Tales of kindness, compassion, and caring for others
  • Adventures that show love in action through thoughtful deeds
  • Narratives perfect for the whole month of February, not just Valentine’s Day itself

Paired with our stories are printable activities and projects to extend the storytelling experience and create memorable family moments during this month of love! We invite you to make story time a special Valentine’s tradition — perhaps after dinner or before bed — where you can gather together and let these heartwarming tales inspire your own expressions of love and kindness.

Listen to sample stories for free and discover how Sparkle’s Valentine’s content can help your family celebrate the season of love in a meaningful, joyful way.
