Praise for Your One And Only HeartA NCTE Notable Poetry Book“LaRocca makes clear that this organ shares a number of seemingly contradictory characteristics and thus ‘does / Everything / it’s supposed to do. / Just like you.’ … [This book] will leave readers marveling at the versatility of one of the body’s most essential organs.” –Kirkus “[LaRocca] tempers a plethora of information with light, accessible text … Similarly, colorful, geometric illustrations featuring children with a range of skin colors, hairstyles, and physical abilities provide just enough visual cues to understand such concepts as how the heart works like a dropper and its electrical signals…[A] charming STEAM collection.” –Booklist |
