Review quotes
Love Will Turn You Around is a lovely picture book lesson featuring a unique character—Heart, who wakes up one morning feeling blue.
Illustrator Kate Talbot creates a gorgeous, expressive set of images that bring Heart's story to life as he interacts with Circle, Triangle, Square, and other shapes that enjoy playing in ways he cannot.
Young readers learn about shapes as they absorb Heart's experiences and dilemmas, receiving an important lesson in friendship from Star, who points out that even a defeated Heart can "twinkle."
Star's perspective is enough to give Heart an important idea about changing perspective to turn a frown upside down into a smile.
Parents who choose Love Will Turn You Around for read-aloud will find its concurrent lessons in shapes and attitude the perfect starting point for instructing the very young about love, friendship, and overcoming adversity through revised attitudes. The lovely illustrations make Heart's dilemmas and solutions appealing and fun.
Elementary-level libraries will find Heart's story suitable for read-aloud, and will appreciate its invitation to engage and educate kids in a variety of subjects, from primary and secondary colors and basic math to skills development and teamwork principles.
