Helping children feel brave, safe and connected… making drop offs easy.
How does the magic heart work?
The Magic Heart is a gentle story that helps children understand that love doesn’t disappear when people are apart. Through a simple, imaginative ritual, children learn they can stay emotionally connected to the people they love — even during school drop-offs, new experiences, bedtime, family changes, or loss. It gives children something they can use on their own, helping them feel brave, calm, and supported when big feelings show up.
A gentle children’s book that helps little hearts feel safe, connected, and brave — even when saying goodbye feels hard.
The Magic Heart is a beautifully illustrated paperback picture book designed to support children through separation anxiety and big feelings — whether that’s at daycare drop-off, preschool, school, bedtime, shared care, parental separation, loss, or moments of change.
At the centre of the story is a simple, imaginative strategy: a “magic heart” that reminds children they are always connected to the people they love, even when they’re apart.
Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, The Magic Heart gently acknowledges worry, fear, missing someone, and uncertainty — then gives children a calm, repeatable way to move through those feelings on their own.

What Parents Are Saying…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“This book changed our mornings.”
“School drop-offs were heartbreaking for us. Tears, clinging, panic — every single day. The Magic Heart gave my child something they could do when I wasn’t there. Now they press their ‘magic heart’ at the gate and walk in feeling brave. It’s the first time drop-offs feel calm for both of us.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“It gave my kids comfort when I couldn’t.”
“We’re navigating shared care after separation, and my child struggled deeply with goodbyes. This book explained connection in a way that made sense to them. They talk about their magic heart all the time — at school, at bedtime, even when they miss the other parent. It’s been incredibly reassuring.”
— Mum of two
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A beautiful way to talk about hard things.”
“We bought The Magic Heart after a loss in our family and didn’t know how to help our child process missing someone they loved. This story opened the conversation so gently. It didn’t overwhelm or scare — it comforted. We still read it regularly, especially on hard days.”
