Kaya’s Heart Song

Book Synopsis

“Let me tell you a secret – if you have a heart song, anything is possible. Even magic!”

Kaya is looking for her heart song – the song that happy hearts sing. Her search takes her on a journey deep into the jungle where a broken down carousel waits for a very special song to make it turn again.

Our Review Panel says...

This is an intriguing and mesmerising picture book set in the Malaysian jungle. Curious Kaya, who is seeking her ‘heart song’, journeys deep within the vibrant jungle, which is so beautifully portrayed in the illustrations using a dazzling palette of bright reds, oranges, purples and yellows set against the vegetatious backdrop of countless shades of green. When Kaya finds a mysterious carousel, the captivating music it produces leads Kaya to discover her own heart song. This is a truly unique picture book, grounded in the values of mindfulness, and one that will leave young readers wide-eyed with surprise and wonder…
