How beautiful of a book to encourage seeing things beyond whats right in front of you. See to life's little messages all around you to collect and cherish. I have thought myself what a wonderful place of art nature gives to us on the daily, and how often in changes and ones perspective can shift along with it.

I love how this can open the eyes of little ones to see things in a little different light, and see past the normal.

Beautiful!!!

Thank you.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Four friends find different types of hearts in nature. The illustrations are lovely, and the text is pretty east.

Simply, soft, cute. A group of animals look for heart shapes in nature. Leaves, petals, seashells, and even a spiderweb!

Now, my kid is a big fan of seek-and-find type books, so she was quite pleased with this one. I think it could also be a good starting place for having your kids look for all kinds of shapes in nature. Either go on a walk and ask them to find a shape, or find something in the natural world and ask what shape it is.

A good pick from your public library!

Such a wonderful story of loving and caring. The words flowed so well, and the illustrations were perfect. and my 4 year old adored it.

While a small child might not understand the significance we adults often give to the symbol of a heart, I love the idea of making a game out of finding this imagery everywhere in daily life. The hearts can give reassurance to a child, that we can always find these signs of love in the world, because they're literally everywhere. We just have to be open to seeing them and embracing their significance.

The illustrations of the adorable woodland creatures are what really make this book so enjoyable. This is one you could read ten times in a row -- as we're often asked to do, "again!" -- and always find another heart you hadn't noticed before. And of course, this heart hunt might just inspire nature walks, which any grandparent or parent would be thrilled to make happen.

A quartet of adorable animals goes searching for hearts that can be found in nature. Some are rather obvious; others hide in unexpected places - like inside apples. The rhyming text would make a great read-aloud, though the real charm of this book owes much to the sweet illustrations by Jacqueline East.

Hunting for hearts would make a great activity for the next nature walk you take with your little ones.

Charming illustrations and sweet rhyming verse lends well to a Valentine's Day or Earth Day storytime. Equally focusing on love and care for nature, readers are encouraged to appreciate the wonders all around us.

The world around us is so big & is filled to the brim with so many people, places, & things. For young children, the world is even bigger, even grander, & seems an impossible place to be part of. Within this picture book, the author focuses on the imagery of hearts; little beats of warmth in everything around us.

I hold high praise for Jacqueline East as she was able to welcome the story that Ghigna wanted to tell young readers all while incorporating imagery that is tender to the touch; round shapes, soft colours, & miraculous detail in simple strokes. East has provided the ideal backdrop for this poem to take shape.

This picture book is ideal for very young readers, those who will appreciate finding hearts in everything around them. From the back of a ladybug’s wings to the joined heart shape formed by the swans in the local lake. This is the style of book that will nestle snuggly in the hearts of young readers & remain with them as they grow. I should hope that everyone is given the opportunity to find books that remind us, ever so gently, of the love & beauty around us from the first moments in this life until the last.

Thank you to NetGalley, Red Comet Press, & Charles Ghigna for the free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

An absolutely adorable tale about the love that can be found... everywhere!

This is a great children’s book for your young reader. The illustrations are so very cute. I am rather in love with the fox!

The story is lighthearted and great for a bedtime reading. It tells of love, and hearts, found in nature and all around us. What a great way to teach mindful awareness to our very early readers.

After ready this book I felt the weight on my shoulders get lighter and my heard was lifted.
This would also make a great holiday gift for beginning readers.

Grateful to have received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley & Red Comet Press.

What a sweet book with beautiful illustrations! A wonderful read for ages 1-5. The story of some animal friends finding heart shapes in nature.
I read this with my four year old who loved the story and looking for the heart shapes on every page. A great gift for a young child with engaging illustrations and lovely rhymes.

I received an electronic ARC from Red Comet Press through NetGalley.
Join these four animal friends as they explore the area around their home. Each finds hearts in unusual places and shares with their friends. Readers, too, can search for hearts on each page. The text offers ideas of where to find them. As the story unfolds, the joy and love of nature clearly comes through. A family could read this together and go on a heart search of their own.

Adorable! Loved the illustrations and the rhymes were clever. Perfect read aloud book. Highly recommend!

"The world is full of little hearts.
Each one a sign of love.
Some are found upon the ground.
Some are up above."


The reader is invited to come along with an adorable group of animal friends as they put on their detective hats and discover the many shapes of little hearts that they find in nature.

Charles Ghigna, a.k.a, Father Goose, creates a window into the beauty and wonderment of the great outdoors. The book will open little minds and hearts to the art and skill of observing the shape of hearts in the natural world that surrounds them.

Written in rhyming stanzas, and visually enriched by soft gentle illustrations, this book encourages little ones to slow down and take their time as they delight in hidden heart-shaped gifts that are just waiting to be discovered.

"Little Hearts: Finding Hearts in Nature" would be fantastic to share for Valentine's Day or any day! I love the book and highly recommend it.

Such a cute story about finding hearts everywhere you go. From the rocks we find, to the leaves in the trees, to the strawberry’s we eat. There’s hearts all around us if we look closely. I love the message at the start “the world is full of little hearts. Each one a sign of love.”

Little Hearts
4.5 Stars

What a heartwarming little book and uplifting read. This book teaches a great message: love is all around you. I couldn't help but love the bright and cheerful illustrations. I can easily imagine young children looking for hearts on the pages to help their fuzzy book friends. Children will enjoy the rhyming text and exploring their environment for little hearts.

Overall, Little Hearts is a pretty good book. What makes this book shine, for me, is you could turn this into an exploratory activity. I'm always looking for ways to keep my kids moving and engaging in multi-sensory activities. Thanks, Net Galley and Red Comet Press, for an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thanks to Netgalley and Red Comet Press for a free digital copy.

A very cute little book about the shape of a heart appearing everywhere in nature. Has a sweet rhyming rhythm and has beautiful illustrations.

This is a book that explores all of the heart shaped things we can find within nature. From leaves and petals, to stones and apples, little hearts can be found in so many more places than one would think.

I did enjoy the illustration style of this book, and the language is simple enough for younger readers. The overall rhythm of the words also make it quite fun to read aloud. Although I would say that there were a couple of times where the rhythm pattern did struggle quire a bit.

This is a very sweet book and my granddaughter loved listening to it. She wanted to find the heart before I could start reading. The illustrations are just lovely and really fit the story. This is definitely a book I would buy.

I received and ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This picture book is appropriate for very young kids, and might particularly interest those little ones who are learning their shapes. The art is engaging and the rhymes are short and sweet. The map of the area of exploration that can be found inside the covers is a great touch. While it's definitely not exactly the same, the art and story brought to mind Guess How Much I Love You for me.

This one follows the journey of four furry friends that discover that many “little hearts” can be found in nature. I loved that this one took elements of nature and things we often take for granted, such as leaves, seashells, flowers, clouds, spider webs, ladybugs, and more, and showed that these are all signs of love and beauty. This one is a brilliant and precious way to introduce the little ones to the world and beauty of nature and life’s simple joys.
