Publisher Description
A gift that opens your eyes, your heart, and your world
In 2009, Eric Telchin noticed a heart in a pool of melted ice cream, and hearts have followed him ever since. He launched boyseeshearts.com as a forum to share his "found" hearts, and an Internet phenomenon was born.
This enticing book pairs Eric's photography with short, poignant text to create the ultimate gift for anyone looking to lend, mend, or charm a heart. The simple message of being open to seeing hearts and finding love is one that will resonate with readers of all ages. Anyone can see hearts; it's just a matter of remembering to look for them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hearts are everywhere, suggests this photographic book from Telchin, who created the Web site BoySeesHearts.com to showcase images of hearts he discovers in nature, urban areas, and in a spectrum of colors. Loose, heart-centric verse runs throughout ("Hold a heart/ Free a heart/ Find a heart"), thematically tied to the photographs. A snake, rubber band, and hose coiled into heart shapes join the words "twist a heart," while floral hearts appear with the phrase "tend a heart." Grainy hearts embedded in cracked sidewalks and a tiny heart-shaped discoloration on an autumn leaf might be overlooked "in the wild": the subtlety of the images points to the value of being receptive to and perceptive of one's environment. Ages 4 up.
