Heart

Lyrically and visually beautiful, Heart is a book for all ages and all walks of life. Within the pages of Heart, readers, parents, and educators will find affirmations that remind us that when hearts close from fear, other emotions like love, peace, joy, and happiness become closed off as well. Inspired by her work with foster children, Deedee Cummings uses lyrical prose and stunning illustrations to share promises of love, life, faith, and the power of prayer. This is a much-needed book for children of all ages, especially those who have experienced trauma in their lives. Heart provides an overall message to readers that, to find faith, they must never stop believing that there are good people in the world. An excellent resource for classrooms, home bookshelves, and counseling offices, Heart will help lift readers' spirit and serves as a guide to the path to healing.
