Seeing with my Heart

A warm and hopeful picture book focusing on friendship, diversity and self-acceptance. “…gorgeous illustrations…”
”…slick rhyming…” “…delightful…”

“If only I had wings like a butterfly

Or glowed in the dark like a firefly

If I was soft and fluffy like a sheep

And didn’t make the children leap…”

Sid the snake feels like he doesn’t fit in because of how he looks and dreams of being someone else. When he meets George, a blind boy, he begins to learn about loving himself just as he is and the value of real friendship.

A truly beautiful book. My children often request this at bedtime and thanks to its message we now talk about the importance of “seeing with our heart.”

A delightful story for a world so concerned with the superficial. Fans of “The Koala Who Could” by Rachel Bright or “Ruby’s Worry” by Tom Percival will love this heart-warming book which is an absolute delight to read aloud thanks to its gentle rhyming. I’ve loved reading this to my boys to help them think about friendship and kindness.

This is the book I wish I’d had when I was a young boy. Its beautiful sentiment, rhyming and illustrations compliment it’s important message of inclusivity and kindness.

A warm, hopeful story with a strong message at its heart - the importance of accepting and being kind to yourself and others.It provides young readers with a sense of identification regardless of their appearance or abilities.”
