Tales from Shackleton
Hazel and the Heart-Balloon. Tales from Shackelton - Volume 1

Hazel was born with a heart unlike any other. Tied to her wrist by a fragile silver thread, it floats above her like a balloon : glowing, trembling, revealing every emotion she feels. Hidden away in the attic of an old conservatory, Hazel does everything she can to protect her heart from curious eyes and cruel whispers. Until music finds her. And everything begins to change. Hazel and the Heart-Balloon is a tender, magical story about difference, courage, and the quiet strength of being yourself - where music speaks louder than words, and even the most fragile hearts can learn to soar.
A beautifully illustrated tale for children and for anyone who has ever felt a little different.
