About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling small, unsure of themselves, or perhaps a little lonely after a transition like starting school or welcoming a new sibling. It serves as a gentle, repetitive affirmation that provides a sense of security through the simple acknowledgement of a child's support system. This picture book follows a young boy named Zeke as he discovers all the different people in his life who hold him in their hearts. From immediate family to extended kin and friends, the narrative reinforces a child's place within their community. It is a perfect choice for the 2 to 5 age range, acting as a soothing 'hug in a book' that builds self-esteem and helps a child visualize the invisible web of love that surrounds them even when they are physically alone.
