MY HEART by Corinna Luyken. New York: Dial Books for Young Reader, 2019. 32p. ISBN
978-0735227934 hc. $17.99 PreS-Gr.2 E PIC
Using the contrast of color in gray, white, and yellow tones, Luyken visually depicts the same feelings voiced by her words. She enlists drawings of windows to graphically show, "My heart can be closed or opened up wide." Hearts can be found on every page - drawn as leaves, flowers, constellations and the wings or birds. The illustrations truly enhance the sparse text. This is a contemplative book that everyone can relate to.
