A Soft Heart

By: Kelly, Tracey

When Sienna's beloved Poppy dies, her world fills with feelings too big for her small body to understand. Her chest tightens, her thoughts turn "fluffy," and sadness arrives in heavy waves she can't explain. But in the quiet moments, her gentle cat Oak curls beside her, offering warmth, comfort, and a steady purr that helps her heart feel softer.

This tender story helps children recognise the physical sensations that come with emotions like grief, worry, and anxiety - and reassures them that these feelings are normal, nameable, and safe to talk about. Through Sienna's bond with Oak, readers also discover the calming, grounding power of pets during difficult times.

Perfect for families, classrooms, counsellors, and anyone supporting a child through loss or big emotions, 'A Soft Heart' is a gentle companion that helps children feel seen, understood, and less alone.
