Books around love are easy to spot, especially this time of year with Valentine’s Day approaching. However, a perfect children’s book that empowers young readers to listen to the heart within are hard to come by.
We are delighted to introduce our readers to a book that does just that, My Heart written and illustrated by Corinna Luyken.
Synopsis
My heart is a window.
My heart is a slide.
My heart can be closed…
or opened up wide.
From the moments of great joy and exuberance to necessary times of quiet contemplation, your heart is your guide.
#MelAndNikkiReview
My Heart has captivated our hearts in the best way possible. The book is breathtaking with the illustrations and the story is told with such elegance. We love the simplicity of the story and the impactful message that it carries. My Heart is all about caring for your own heart and living with kindness and empathy. A very important lesson that not only children need to learn but a reminder for us adults as well. I think that is what I love the best about this book as it is a lesson that I learned at a very young age. Now to be able to translate it into a book form that my 4-year-old daughter can understand tickles my heart pink. 🙂
We truly have loved reading this book and it is one that we have been reading on a daily basis since it has arrived in our home. At the end of the book, Nikki never fails to tell me exactly what she thinks of it.
“Mommy this book was so beautiful about our hearts. We need to take good care of it and make sure we use it right.” – Nikki, Age 4
A heartfelt book all about one’s heart would make a great Valentine’s Gift or any other time of the year for a little one. We highly recommend this book to everyone (Ages 4 and up). I think there is an important reminder and lesson in this book for all of us no matter our age. With lyrical text and breathtaking art by award-winning author-illustrator Corinna Luyken, My Heart empowers all readers to listen to the voice within in this ode to love and self-acceptance. This is why we give My Heart 6 hearts out of 5!
“tiny can grow and broken can mend and a heart that is closed can still open again.” – Corinna Luyken
