Little Ted's Big Heart by Rosie Greening

Little Ted has a wonderful idea — he wants to make a big heart to show his friends how much he loves them.

But there’s just one problem… the heart is too big! It won’t fit into Rabbit’s burrow and it’s far too heavy for Owl to carry to his nest. Little Ted starts to worry that his special gift might never reach his friends.

Then Ted’s friends help him realise something very important: the size of a gift doesn’t matter when it comes from the heart.

Little Ted’s Big Heart, written by Rosie Greening, is a gentle and heartwarming picture book about friendship, kindness and the joy of sharing love with others.
