Praise for this book

Praise for Your One And Only Heart

A NCTE Notable Poetry Book

"LaRocca makes clear that this organ shares a number of seemingly contradictory characteristics and thus 'does / Everything / it's supposed to do. / Just like you.' ... [This book] will leave readers marveling at the versatility of one of the body's most essential organs." -Kirkus

"[LaRocca] tempers a plethora of information with light, accessible text ... Similarly, colorful, geometric illustrations featuring children with a range of skin colors, hairstyles, and physical abilities provide just enough visual cues to understand such concepts as how the heart works like a dropper and its electrical signals...[A] charming STEAM collection." -Booklist
