I don't normally bother with reviews, and I certainly don't review kids' books, because y'all got it covered. But this one, oh my.
First of all, I will fully admit that I bought this for myself. I knew from a couple of photo previews that I was going to love it.
I read it with my six-year-old daughter tonight, and when we got to the end, she had this wonderful, gentle smile ... She looked so empowered. And then she started going through the book, to show me how most of the time her heart is like this page, but sometimes her heart is like that page, and then other times her heart is like this other page. She identified immediately with the imagery in this book, and it gave her a way to talk about her heart.
I would not be surprised if in the future, she comes home from a frustrating day at school and pulls out this book to help explain how she feels. I'm so happy to have this around.
