Inspired by the trend for drawing a heart on the hand of someone you love, The Heart on Your Hand is a big-hearted, joyful look at what it means to love and be loved.

Told from the perspective of parents and carers across a variety of families, this book reassures young children that no matter what challenges they face, the love is constant. From starting school to moving house, The Heart on Your Hand explores the big moments and the small, the expected and perhaps unexpected separations in childhood, offering a timeless message that will comfort anyone adjusting to change.

A beautiful and inclusive book written in lively verse from award-winning Lucy Rowland, with cosy illustrations from Åsa Gilland, perfectly capturing the sense of safety that comes from knowing that – no matter what – you are loved.
