Heart: A School-boy's Journal

Reach for this book when your child is starting a new school year or struggling with the complex social hierarchies of the classroom. Written as the journal of a young boy named Enrico, this classic Italian story explores how empathy, respect, and civic duty are just as important as academic lessons. It is particularly helpful for children who are beginning to notice social differences and need guidance on standing up for others or showing compassion to classmates from different backgrounds. While the setting is historical, the emotional themes of friendship and moral growth remain deeply relevant for readers aged 9 to 13. Parents will appreciate the way it models strong character and the bond between family and school life.
