Libby and the Heart that Learned to Feel

Libby and the Heart That Learned to Feel is a warm, meaningful story about something many children have to learn: EMPATHY.

Libby doesn't think she is doing anything wrong. She simply believes other children should listen to her, do what she wants, and be nicer to her first. But Libby doesn't always stop to consider how her own words and actions might make someone else feel.

Everything begins to change when Libby arrives in the magical world of Sprout Valley and meets four special Dream Guardians. Blu, Sunny, Leaf, and Coco. Together, the Sprout Bears help Libby look at familiar situations in a completely different way.

She sees a new girl sitting alone. She watches a boy being teased. She remembers times when her own actions have hurt others. And little by little, Libby begins to ask a question she had never really considered before:

What if that were me?

For Libby, learning empathy doesn't happen all at once. She has to listen, think, make mistakes, and start taking responsibility for how she treats people. Most importantly, she learns that caring about others does not mean forgetting about yourself. It means understanding that other people have feelings, too.

When Libby returns home, she begins putting what she has learned into practice. She listens more. She stops bossing others around. She reaches out to a child who needs a friend. She notices when someone is hurting and learns to share in the happiness of others.

Libby and the Heart That Learned to Feel is a story about growing, caring, and learning to see beyond ourselves. Through friendship, imagination, and the gentle guidance of the Sprout Bears, children are encouraged to recognize the feelings of others and discover how everyday choices can make someone feel welcomed, valued, and understood.

A thoughtful story for children, families, classrooms, and bedtime reading, this Sprout Bears™ Dream Guardians™ adventure reminds young readers that a kind heart grows every time we choose to care.
