The Heart Behind the Colours
Stories that help children understand what they feel, grow stronger in who they are,
and learn to look at the world beyond what the eyes can see.
The Colours of the Heart was born from the desire to create books that would stay with readers long after the final page — stories that help children and families talk about fear, loss, hope, gratitude, empathy, generosity, and all the things that, little by little, help shape a child’s heart.
Each book invites children to move through feelings, face challenges, and make discoveries that transform the way they see themselves, others, and the world around them.
With the loving presence of the angel Gabriel, the young protagonists learn that courage is not the absence of fear, that hope is like a seed that can blossom when it is cared for, that what is imperfect can still be precious, and that even the smallest gesture can deeply touch another person’s life.
The collection follows a journey of growth: it begins by looking within, expands to what is happening around us, learns to recognise value in things and depth in people, and finally invites each child to offer the world the gift they carry within.
More than simply talking about emotions, these books were created to strengthen bonds, make room for important conversations, and plant values that can stay with children throughout their lives.
Behind each of these stories is Débora Rossi’s perspective and her desire to transform feelings, faith, and childhood experiences into stories that bring children and families closer together.
This is more than a series. It’s a mission of love.
