'Holiday magic via a surrealist lens in this love-extolling picture book... Naif-style mixed-media art has a dreamy quality that mirrors Hoskins’s verse, making for an inventive read' - Publishers Weekly

'The poetic text is perfectly matched with delicate, naïve sketches brightened with pops of amber and red… Like the heart, the images pulse in a rhythm that expands to embrace the outside and contracts again to focus on the girl and her loving home… This book’s heart soars far beyond its yuletide setting' - Kirkus Reviews

Glorious artwork combines with lyrical poetry in this Christmas-themed celebration of storytelling. Set in a sleepy town on Christmas Eve, the story begins with a conversation between a girl and her toy robot, who wants to know what's inside a human heart. Describing it as a series of rooms filled with storybooks, the girl sets about building the robot a heart of its own by telling stories about the quiet little town she calls home. With rich vocabulary and a rhythmical structure, this tender story has a powerful message that will warm the hearts of readers all year round.
