博客來The Unbreakable Heart of Leo
By Michelle Huirama
In a war-torn world where everything has been taken-homes, families, peace-one brave boy refuses to let go of hope.
Told through raw, emotional daily notes written to his missing parents, The Unbreakable Heart of Leo is a powerful 63-page illustrated picture book that follows 10-year-old Leo as he survives in a city reduced to rubble. With each page, readers witness Leo’s quiet strength, defiant hope, and unbreakable heart as he leads a growing group of abandoned children through darkness with nothing but chalk, courage, and love.
Through Leo’s eyes, we see the horror of war, the beauty of small acts of kindness, and the unstoppable power of the human spirit-even in the smallest, dust-covered hands.
Beautifully illustrated in a soft, haunting watercolor style, this picture book is a tribute to the resilience of children in crisis.
It’s a reminder that even when the world falls apart-hearts can hold it together.
