Saint Valentine

I read this one aloud today. It wasn't the first time but apparently is the first time I've tracked it in Goodreads. Today is Valentine's Day of the year 2020. While I read my newborn (3m) slumbers nearby, my Kinder (5) and Toddler (2.5) snuggle up to me on the loveseat and the girls (10 and 8) sit at the counter making sibling valentine day cards. The mosaic art of this one is what I enjoy the most. In reading this, I loved how my oldest daughter was able to make the connections to Roman history and the persecution of Christians after the risen Christ. I do not find this to be an amazing book but I wouldn't hesitate to read it to them again.

We originally added this book to our shelves because of the recommendation from Memoria Press Second Grade as a read-aloud. We own a paperback copy.
