description: Engagingly write by Kathleen Killion and superbly enhanced with the watercolor artwork of Gary Lang, The Glass Heart is the story of a young girl who asked a glassblower to make her a new, beautiful, jeweled glass hart. She trades her glass heart for another in order to please others. After experiencing several adventures of the heart, she ultimately returns to the safe and trusted home of the glassblower, where she ultimately discovers the beauty of her own heart. The Glass Heart is an allegorical fable about bowing to peer pressure, fitting in with the "right" crowd, and trying to change yourself in order to be like other people's expectations of you. A celebration of personal individuality, The Glass heart is especially recommended for young (and not-so-young) readers having to deal with the stresses and temptations of peer pressure and group conformity.
