A Heart's echo

A Heart’s Echo is a 2D interactive picture book that follows Little Bear, a young character navigating a world touched by both wonder and hardship. With her friend, Little Fox, she embarks on a quest to find her missing brother, exploring a village marked by signs of change—empty homes, soldiers, and once-busy marketplaces now silent. Through interactive scenes, young readers (ages 10–14) guide Little Bear’s journey, engaging with themes of family, empathy, and resilience. This picture book is inspired by The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and recent news events, highlighting the importance of educating children about the concept of war. Aiming to create an approachable introduction to the topic for readers aged 10–14, this book gently and gradually reveals the realities of war. By drawing on universal themes of conflict and peace, it fosters understanding without overwhelming young readers.
