The artwork in this book is brilliant, and all the hearts, even the naughty ones are captivatingly beautiful to look at. The story has moral and emotional merit and a nice ending. Kindness and empathy might heal the sorest heart. For very young readers pictures may be enough; it will certainly melt a lot of adult hearts too! For older children there may be a need to help with some of the vocabulary that is used. But children’s understanding being stretched is a good thing. Thank you to BookBuzz.net, Antwinette Scott and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.
