Your Valentine

Valentine’s Day didn’t begin with candy hearts and cartoons. It began with a courageous saint who loved Christ above all else.

In this beautifully told children’s story, best-selling author Anthony DeStefano invites young readers to discover the real St. Valentine: a Catholic bishop who risked everything to serve God, strengthen Christian marriages, and encourage the faithful through letters signed with love and hope. Those letters, written from the heart, became the true origin of signing a note, “From your Valentine.”

Full of adventure, warmth, and timeless Catholic truth, this book gently cuts through the noise of a commercialized holiday and restores February 14th to its rightful meaning. Children will encounter bravery, sacrifice, and authentic love rooted in faith.

Brought to life with rich, expressive illustrations by Antonio Javier Caparo, this hardcover book is perfect for families who want to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day with purpose, beauty, and truth.
