The Garden in My Heart - Hardcover

From Australian author and illustrator Nikki Rogers comes a thoughtful and beautifully illustrated story about the seeds we sow in our hearts.

The Garden In My Heart uses the gentle picture of a garden to help children understand character, emotions, and the choices they make each day. Just as a garden can grow beautiful flowers or unwanted weeds, our hearts can grow things like joy, kindness, and thankfulness, or weeds like jealousy, bitterness, and anger.

Through charming rhyme and meaningful illustrations, Nikki Rogers encourages children to recognise what is growing in their hearts and to choose good seeds that will help them flourish.
