In The Heart
by Ann Turner & Salley Mavor
A lovely story book for young children illustrated with Salley Mavor's felting work.
"This poem follows a little girl from morning to night. "The heart of the day/is the sun:/a warm blanket on my eyes/and nose and feet,/a gold hat for my head." She describes the heart of her home (her kitchen), her yard (her tree), her town (her school), and more. With simple, fresh images that are grounded in the physical and the immediate, the appealing verse is beautifully illustrated with fabric collages. Children will love the color, the detail, and the three-dimensional look Mavor achieves...a near-perfect blending of text and visuals. A cozy look at a happy and peaceful child."
