The Magic Heart Paperback Book

$16.95

A gentle children’s book that helps little hearts feel safe, connected, and brave — even when saying goodbye feels hard.

The Magic Heart is a beautifully illustrated paperback picture book designed to support children through separation anxiety and big feelings — whether that’s at daycare drop-off, preschool, school, bedtime, shared care, parental separation, loss, or moments of change.

At the centre of the story is a simple, imaginative strategy: a “magic heart” that reminds children they are always connected to the people they love, even when they’re apart.

Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, The Magic Heart gently acknowledges worry, fear, missing someone, and uncertainty — then gives children a calm, repeatable way to move through those feelings on their own.

How the story helps

Through relatable moments — first days of school, new coaches, parents working away, bedtime worries, and grief — children learn that love doesn’t disappear when people leave. It stays with them.

By pressing their “magic heart,” children are reminded:

  • they are not alone

  • they are still loved

  • they are capable of being brave

Over time, this simple ritual helps build emotional confidence and resilience — not dependence.

Perfect for children who:

  • struggle with drop-offs or goodbyes

  • feel anxious in new environments

  • worry at bedtime

  • are navigating family separation or shared care

  • are grieving or missing someone they love

  • feel big emotions they don’t yet have words for

What parents love

  • A calm, reassuring approach that feels natural and child-led

  • Language children can use themselves in hard moments

  • A strategy that grows with the child and works across many situations

  • A story that supports connection — without pressure, guilt, or fear

A note to parents

Big feelings are a normal part of growing up.

The Magic Heart doesn’t try to fix or rush them — it simply reminds children that they are safe, loved, and capable, even when things feel hard.
