A moving story about the bond between a mother and her child.
My Heart depicts the many ways a mothers heart can experience love and emotion while her baby journeys through the milestones of growing up.
The story uses repetition and subtle variation to reflect the activity and reactions of the mother's heart, and how they change with each mother-child interaction. The narrative moves through the early years until the child goes off on their first independent activity, a deeply moving moment for all mothers. Beautifully detailed illustrations depict the connection between mother and child, reminding readers that a mother's heart will always be with her children, no matter where they go.
