In "What the Heart Knows: Chants, Charms, and Blessings," Joyce Sidman weaves a tapestry of poetic reflections that explore the intimate relationship between language, emotion, and the natural world. Each page is filled with lyrical verses that serve as powerful incantations, celebrating the richness of life and the myriad feelings that come with it. From the joy of love to the weight of sorrow, Sidman's charming words invite readers to connect with their innermost thoughts and feelings. Illustrated beautifully, this collection serves as both a soothing balm and an uplifting reminder of the magic found in everyday expressions of the heart.
