Fifty-two comforting themes range from rocket ships and sailboats to puppies and kittens, one for each week of the year. Sandra Eide’s sweet illustrations show kids experiencing everyday activities. A wonderful addition to the Tender Heart series!... Looking forward to sharing it with my granddaughter!" —Amy Houts, author of over 100 books for children
