Big book for big feelings

Children can often have big feelings that they lack the words to express. Dipna Daryanani’s picture book, About the Friend in My Heart (Red Panda, '350), tackles some of these big feelings through the lens of “kindness”. Daryanani, an early years educator, and artist Sonal Gupta Vaswani gently show children what it means to be kind — from feeding a stray puppy, to sharing a tiffin box with a classmate who may not look the same as you. This is a book that can be read with parental supervision, or by the child on their own.
