Heartbeat

A poetic photographic series where award-winning authors turn the world into a treasure hunt, showing toddlers that beauty and geometry are hidden in plain sight. A sophisticated yet perfectly accessible tool for early childhood development.

The world is full of hearts. Besides those beating inside living beings, there are many others all around us: drawn, sculpted, or printed. Then there are the most incredible hearts: those born from a stain, a leaf, or a cloud, which only an attentive eye can find!

Key Selling Points:

– Visual education: children will enjoyin recognizing complex shapes in nature and urban environments.
– Lirical guidance: the rhymes act as clues, bridging the gap between verbal literacy and visual recognition.
– A new perspective: in today’s fast-paced, performance-driven society, it encourages a “slow looking” approach to the world.
