Heart Germs & Gems: Gratitude

This book guides children aged 5-8 to recognise ingratitude, understand its effect on the heart, and learn the power of gratitude for a happy mind. 

In this series, feelings like anger, stinginess and envy are represented by heart germs, because they can make our hearts sick. They are unwanted, just like a germ. Having control of these feelings, or the opposite of them, like calm, generosity and gratitude – basically, all the good stuff - is represented by a shining heart gem. Because after all, these feelings and ways of being, get rid of the heart germs and feel warm and bright inside us.

Why is this book needed?

When gratitude is left untaught, children may begin to focus on what they lack rather than the blessings around them, leading to negativity and discontent, complaining, entitlement, and hearts that feel restless or dissatisfied. This book offers parents a beautiful approach to teaching children how to recognise blessings, express thanks, and build habits of gratitude rooted in the deen.

Perfect for:

• Children aged 5–8

• Parents seeking  guidance for emotional development

• Family reading, gifting, homeschool settings and classrooms.
