"You were here And so precious Who could ask for more? Then we heard something We had to explore..." With vivid illustrations and lyrical verse, Heartsong celebrates the indomitable spirit of a child born with a "rare and different song" - a unique composition of internal notes - the sounds of a tiny heart riddled with multiple congenital heart defects. Inspired by a mother's overwhelming pride and gratitude in her daughter's ongoing grit and determination to overcome her many health challenges, this motivational book uses exuberant and whimsical images any child can relate to, rendered in bright, intense watercolors. As an opportunity to celebrate each child's journey, the book also contains guided journal pages to help personalize his or her story and honor each tiny warrior. Written in hopes of encouraging kids to see their own extraordinary story in a positive light, Heartsong is bound to lift the hearts of caregiver and child alike with its story of hope and triumph.
