What is The Heart on Your Hand about?

A heart drawn on your hand is a little reminder that love is always near. In lively verse, children from different families experience important changes, from starting school and moving house to spending time apart from the people they love. Through each new adventure, they discover that love can stretch across distance, time and change. With its warm message and inclusive characters, this reassuring picture book helps young children feel safe, understood and ready to face life’s big and small moments.
