★ "Soothing, simple phrasing and masterful printmaking harness
metaphors to make a heart’s complexity accessible to children just
recognizing its many manifestations . . . Sensitive, stunning
words and pictures speak directly to young hearts." —Kirkus,
starred review
★ "This must-buy for librarians and teachers has myriad educational
uses; it begs to be read aloud, and it is a masterful blending of
text and illustration." —School Library Journal, starred review
"Rhyming verse and sweet-tempered artwork by Luyken explore
childhood emotions through images of the heart . .
. Flashes of brilliant yellow illuminate smudgy
black-and-white drawings, and heart forms can be found everywhere,
in ironwork, tiny seedlings, and stars. The abstract nature of
Luyken’s meditation will draw readers receptive to thoughtful
examination." —Publishers Weekly
