Welcome to this month's edition of Big Heart Press!
We’re back with another monthly burst of joy, creativity and connection for our wonderful young readers and Big Heart Book Club families.
Each edit of Big Heart Press brings you stories from our readers, behind-the-scenes interviews with amazing creators, fun puzzles, feel-good news, and opportunities for kids to share their voices and imaginations with the world.
💖 This month’s theme is… Feelings!
We're taking time to pause, reflect, and explore the big and small emotions that shape our days. Through books, art, and stories, we’re learning how to understand our feelings and how to be kind to ourselves and each other.
📚 Our featured books this month are:
The Best You & My Thoughts and Me – two thoughtful, uplifting stories that help children build confidence, navigate emotions, and believe in their own inner strength.
🎨 You’ll also find a beautifully insightful interview with illustrator Cally Johnson-Isaacs, who shares how she turns invisible feelings into visible art and why drawing can help us feel better on tricky days.
