Have you ever broken something precious?
When Rosie accidentally drops Nana’s beautiful glass heart, she is worried Nana will be very cross.
To her surprise, instead of being upset, Nana tells Rosie the story of three princesses, each of whom had a glass heart.
The first princess sadly has her heart broken, the second princess’s heart is cracked and the third?
Will all the fine princes of the kingdom be able to win her heart and keep it whole? Is there one person who is willing to take the time and make the effort to learn how to love the princess without breaking her heart?
The Glass Heart has a gentle message of kindness and love.
It shows us how when accidents happen, sometimes a thing that is broken can be mended and can often last for longer than something new.
The exquisite illustrations by the author are an absolute delight, bringing Venice to life on the page.
Are you looking for a picture book with a longer story? The Glass Heart is perfect for settling in and enjoying a real story time classic.
What a wonderful gift this would make!
Author Sally Gardner is a Costa and Carnegie prize winner. Her debut novel, I Coriander, won the Nestle Gold Award.
