review:
'I Give You My Heart' by Pimm Hest with art by Sassafras Bruyn is a relective picture book with a beautiful story and pictures.

Young Yuto receives a special gift, and he is told that everything he needs is in the box. When Yuto is finally able to open this gift, he finds a seed. He plants the seed, with some advice about finding the right spot. With love anything can grow, he is told.

And time passes. Yuto grows up and so does the tree. When it is time, he knows what to do.

It's a beautiful story about making a life. Told in a way that is simple enough for the young to understand. I've been a fan of Sassafras Bruyn's illustration work, which is the main reason the tile caught my eye, and I was not disappointed. The pictures have a complexity to them that is not often seen in picture books. There is a lot to see and read in them.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Clavis Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
