Meet Me in Your Heart

By Heather Dean Brewer

How can you feel close to someone when they're far away? This moving, gorgeously illustrated poem invites you to "meet" in all the places you love, until you can be together again.

Missing someone when they're away can tug at the heart, but there are ways to help ease the pangs. One little girl and her grandfather live far apart, but they still create special moments together. Though they have separate gardens, they both admire the flowers and remember that the love they share continues to grow. When they each bake cookies, they think of the fun they could have making a mess in the kitchen together. Days at the park become times to practice their high-flying moves for the next time they see each other. And sometimes they sit with their feelings, quietly, knowing they will always be loved.

Whether read by a child missing a grandparent or someone of any age yearning to see someone dear, Heather Dean Brewer's tender verse, paired with Raissa Figueroa's vibrant art, touches the heartstrings in this universal picture book.
