'Befittingly for a book about how love can make us braver and stronger, Hoang Giang's illustrations glow magnificently?: ?her sunset-coloured depiction of Earnest surrounded by his favourite things, from blueberries to the perfect tree, is one of the most gorgeous picture book spreads I've seen all year.' - The Observer Who has a heart big enough to hold a lion? Earnest is a bear with a big heart. He keeps all his favourite things inside his heart. When Earnest's heart is full, he feels as though he can do anything! But is his heart big enough to hold a lion? If we make room in our hearts for love, it leaves us feeling better and braver with bigger hearts than ever, even if love has to leave.
In Louise Greig's glorious Bear Heart (Flying Eye, 11 Sept), we meet Earnest, a bear with a heart so full that when he encounters a lonely lion "the colour of buttercups" he finds he can only make space for him by discarding the other things he? ?cherishes. Befittingly for a book about how love can make us braver and stronger, Hoang Giang's illustrations glow magnificently?: ?her sunset-coloured depiction of Earnest surrounded by his favourite things, from blueberries to the perfect tree, is one of the most gorgeous picture book spreads I've seen all year. -- Imogen Carter * The Observer *
