From the beloved creator of Love Makes a Family and Kindness Makes Us Strong comes this empowering story about separation anxiety, inspired by the author’s practice of drawing a heart on her son’s hand at drop-off.

You’re off to discover a world of adventure, all on your own.

But you will never be alone.

We will swap hearts. Mine with yours. Yours with mine.

My heart goes with you, all of the time.

Through the simple practice of drawing hearts on hands, this uplifting board book helps young readers and their caregivers visualise their enduring connection, even when they’re apart – brought to life by Sophie Beer’s universally appealing, colourful artwork.
