Once upon a time, a girl named Sophie rode into the forest with the queen’s huntsman. Her lips were the color of ripe cherries, her skin as soft as new-fallen snow, her hair as dark as midnight. When they stopped to rest, the huntsman took out his knife . . . and took Sophie’s heart. It is grounded in competencies from BC's New Curriculum: Social Responsibility and Personal Responsibility and Awareness Sophie's Heart is written for a Kindergarten - Grade 3 audience, but can be easily adapted for use with older and younger children.

A BC's New Curriculum Integration Guide is included in this resource to help teachers use this resource towards both their curricular and Heart-Mind well-being goals.Being an American author, she grew up taking in a lot inspiration from the world around her, as she had a strong passion in both reading and literature from an early, despite the fact that many of her books have been set in Victorian England, as well as the American West. With a keen eye for characters, she knew what she wanted out of them, thus creating a more idealized version of how she wanted people to be, whilst retaining a sense of relatability in the process too. Not only that, but it was also her faith that informed her as well, something which she also brought through into her writing career as an adult. Since Sophie's Heart is primarily a teaching resource, it is intended to be read by adults with, or to, young children. Children are invited to draw, write, or talk about their solutions to the characters' problems at several points throughout the story. Be sure to provide materials (eg. paper and markers) and enough time for children to engage fully in this activity component. The activities are also particularly well-suited to small group work and class discussion. In Sophie's Heart, a pint-sized robot recruits the reader to help her find her "missing" heart. The story guides the reader through series of animal encounters, in which Sophie and the reader must work together to help a turtle, fish, dolphin, monkey, and owl solve their social-emotional dilemmas, each corresponding to a different Heart-Mind quality. Simplified, child friendly language and engaging problem-based elements draw the young reader into the action and invite her to use her "heart" in the service of others.
