My sons and I read two Saint Valentine books this week; one written by Ann Tompert (reviewed last year) and this one.
In this account, Mr. Sabuda develops a relationship with the jailer and his blind daughter as they come weekly to his home for eye ointment. When Valentine is arrested for his Christian beliefs he gives the jailer a card for the daughter. He had signed it "Your Valentine" and had included a yellow crocus. It is said that the daughter regains her sight.
Strategy: compare this book to the one written by Ms. Tompert
