Heartwood Hotel #1: A True Home is a delightful and sweet chapter book for young readers. It promotes messages of kindness and compassion for all, and how working as a team is important. With endearing animal characters, the reader learns how everyone has strengths and weaknesses and all are unique. The writing is full of symbolism and grace, with the notion being shared with all readers that home is truly where the heart is.

I’ll be exploring this book further with my kids book club next Saturday and I can’t wait to hear their thoughts. It’s a great chapter book to share with young readers, whether it’s as a bedtime story or as a first chapter book that they read on their own. I highly recommend this delightful story - and series!
