Hartie

We love the book and Hartie. My daughter has a huge fear of dentists. We brought Hartie to help her find her braves and remember her hero powers

My daughter plays everyday with Hartie and everyday we read his book 🥰🥰🥹

It’s so sweet watching my son love on Hartie! One of his favorite stuffies!!

Oh man, this book is just too cute! First off, it’s a hardcover and the quality is seriously awesome. It’s so fun and interactive. There was this one part where my daughter jumped up, threw her hands in the air like she’s super strong, and started counting out loud. It’s inspiring and keeps everything so positive, totally grabbing her imagination in the best way. I’m recommending this book to everyone. This definitely blew me away with how well it’s written, and the illustrations are a blast.

This is a heartfelt rhyming book designed to teach young learners about being kind and facing tough challenges. The authors want children to understand what it means to be a hero everyday in different situations. They founded Hart & Hero, and the Hello Hero book is part of an entire collection. It’s a high quality hardcover book with thick pages, full of photo prints of Hartie the Power Pal, a stuffed animal reindeer.The hero theme is an exploratory conversation starter between parents and children or teachers and students. The book has a good message that young children will love to listen to and young readers will love to read.

We purchased the Hello Hero book, Pj sets and hartie, and they have now become our children’s favourite bed time routine. We love the message, the quality and the confidence these pieces bring and can’t wait to add more to our H&H collection

Hartie is a favorite in our classroom calm corner.

My 3 year old loves reading this at bedtime and sharing how she used her hero powers that day! It gives her the chance to share how she used her braves.

This is a really cute book. It's a great story to tell kids about being heroic in their very own lives. It's a short story, so that's always good to hold a child's attention. It also has great photos in the book. These photos are bright and really keep them interested. The text also has bold text to be able to emphasize certain words for you to read and for your child to be able to pick up.

This is a cute book and I love the deer as the main character.

Stunning illustrations with high contrast colors. Visually, this book is amazing to read. This also has such a cute little story line that I love reading to my 6 year old. Definitely helps with empowering little ones which is always something I enjoy reading to my child. Comes nicely packaged to protect the book cover- this would make a great gift for someone.5 stars!

My kids love reading this with Hartie- the stuffed deer. It’s a fun read with an empowering message. A great way to get kids thinking and sharing how they used/can use their “powers” throughout their day.

This books feels very personal to me, like the authors really put their heart into it. It's like a stuffed animal that gets moved around. It would be really cute to include a small plush of the deer. My daughter is 2 so I can't say the message hit yet but she enjoyed looking at the pictures. They are clear and crisp. The book is a hardcover with the dust jacket that can easily be taken off so not destroyed by little ones. It's not an easy reader for really young kids to be able to read but it would be lovely to read it to them. I enjoyed the positive message and belief that anyone can be a hero in their own way!

This is a great book. The images are just cute pictures of an actual stuffed animal, but the story is great, especially for kids. It goes over how they are heroes with the little things they do, with a great message in the end. The only question for you is if it is worth the extra price compared to similar books (which are often under $15 or even under $10)

Wonderful little story for my kiddo. It talks about doing the right things like cleaning up after yourself, being respectful, showing kindness, and being courageous. Its simple scenarios with easy concepts for the kiddo to understand. We love reading it and looking at the pictures. We wish the book included the absolutely adorable deer stuffie, it would've been such a neat touch. In any case, its a really great and simple story and has been in our reading rotation.

The book was a pleasant surprise because it’s hardcover, so my kids won’t be able to destroy it as quickly… lol! It’s great for kids who have trouble understanding and managing their emotions. It offers relatable examples and practical solutions. When I asked my son what he liked about the book, he said, "I like it because it shows that when you're mad, you should count to 10. It has poetry and words that rhyme, like giraffe and laugh. It also shows how you can find your inner hero, like inviting a friend to play."He really loved the book and didn’t have anything he didn’t like about it.

The book is a well made hardback, of the sort that many kids' stories are -- larger than "adult books, but much thinner and light for little hands to hold.The choice of colors in the illustrations is another story -- to me they seem muted, not bright and colorful, and often dark. Not really eye-catching.The story itself is an okay story -- not a fairy-tale type book you'll read over and over again, but a great story to teach an important lesson. A conversation starter, if you will -- t doesn't take "super powers" to be a hero -- it just takes caring and kindness, and everyone can be a hero to *someone*. Even to yourself! And while it may not be a "favorite" story of the "again, again" variety, the lesson will be one you can reference again and again as your child faces difficulties, or sees someone else struggling.We only gave it 4 stars because we were a bit disappointed in the muted colors of the illustrations.

My five-year-old enjoys this book. But I find it annoying because it uses the word "hero" as a verb, which in my opinion teaches poor grammar. It also sounds a little silly while reading. Can't fault the two authors for the message the book offers to young children, however, the illustrations are just so-so, as if they just got a stuffy and photographed it in different positions. (Almost feels like your next door neighbor who's never written anything got the idea to make a book). I don't want to bash their idea, but this would not be top-of-the-list kid book purchase

This book deserves a five-star rating on so many levels. The message is well suited for children 3 to 6 years old. It is relatable to younger children for the simplicity of what being a hero means. For older children, it helps them understand that you can also be a hero when things aren't going as planned. The wording is very suitable for young children, with the rhymes adding to the flow of the words. And the pictures are adorable, again relatable as Hero could be any child's favorite stuffed toy. This book is definitely a keeper, especially as it promotes a mindset of kindness and caring.

Sweet messages about handling the ups and downs. It reminds you that there are things that bring you down, but you can be a hero and bring yourself, or someone else, back up. I do like that it explains it isn't always about you. I got this for a four-year-old some of the dialog will be a little bit above his level. The photos are pretty much the stuffed reindeer character. I like the superhero theme. I will be reading this to a male grand. Not that it wouldn't be appropriate for a female, the book just has more of a masculine feel to me. Which is great, there is so much princess and fairy tale stuff out there, this may have more of an appeal to him. Hardbound book with a paper cover.

Read this book to my son for the first time tonight and he really enjoyed it. I thought it was cute and a great way to teach kids how to manage big feelings and practice kindness.

This is a beautiful hardback book for kids about ages 3-6. In short, it defines "INTEGRITY" as it relates to a young child just becoming aware of their place & how to respond to others while in the big world.The book is very durable; it won't fall apart as it's read repeatedly. The sketches are done in muted, basic shades of beige, brown, blue, off-white & gold, giving it a contemporary look. There's not an abundance of writing on the pages, making it ideal for repeat-reading, discussion about the topic as you read along and when you are short on time.Overall, this is a nice "keeper" book to enjoy with your child or to give as a gift. I recommend it.

Honestly I was a bit leery ordering this book just off the title. I suppose I'm a bit prudish in that I don't like misusing words, and I feel the word "hero" has lost a lot of its' meaning due to flagrant misuse. However, that being said, when this book actually came and I read it, it's very refreshing and quite sweet. I won't mind reading this to little ones at all. I'd attempt to summarize the book by saying the main message is how considerate little things we do can be heroic to the people around us. A super message for young children in today's toxically self-centered climate. This will be a super addition to the bedtime story reading rotation!

So empowering for kids ! My son loves to read this before bed and loves spotting Hartie in the book!Love the fun rhymes and powerful messages! Highly recommend.

Great kid's book with an empowering message. My kids like it, and it helps them overcome challenges and behave nicer.

My kids felt so empowered reading this... after reading this, we brainstormed different ways they can bring out their "hero" :)

This book is fun read that helps boost a child’s sense of inner worth and power. Love putting my kids to sleep with these empowering words on their mind.18
