About the Book:
About the Friend in My Heart gently introduces children to the idea of kindness as something that already lives within them. Through simple questions and a tender narrative, the book invites young readers to notice their feelings, nurture empathy, and listen to their inner world. It encourages children to open their hearts, stay curious, and recognise kindness in themselves and others.
