Children's Books Don't Get Any Better Than This!

In my interviews with Beti Rozen, she has told me that she strives to make her stories as much for adults as for children. She has succeeded magnificently! Her stories are deeply representational, philosophical, thought-provoking, and fun! As you read her books to your children(which I hope many parents will) you will be able to pass along your enjoyment of the story to your child. She also collaborates with some of Brazil's greatest illustrators for the most breathtaking results. If all this weren't enough, these books are printed on the finest quality material for the best possible presentation and appearance. All of Beti Rozen's books are highly recommended for children of all ages(adults too!).

An enduring, uplifting story

Written by Brazilian chldren's book author Beti Rozen and illustrated by Brazilian artist and designer Graca Lima, A Heart Alone In The Land Of Darkness is a children's picturebook and a parable calling for compassion. The vibrant and simplistic drawings show of a Heart that searches for an owner in a land where most are no longer human. It offers the opportunity to feel and love to a Calculator Man who cares only about numbers, a Poet who flees love, and a Dictator obsessed with control, and a TV producer who cannot see beyond fame and popular consumption. The Heart strives ever to balance soulless ways of thinking, and turn the land of darkness into a land of light by showing people the joys of love and caring. An enduring, uplifting story meant to be shared among readers age 5 to adult.
