The second book in Tim McGraw’s My Little Girl series is a heartwarming story of a little girl’s selfless act of kindness.
Tim McGraw and songwriter Tom Douglas once again join forces to write another book about the precocious Katie and her dad. Katie has many talents, but she wonders which one will win her school’s talent show. With the help of Dad and her faithful dog Palio, and after several amusing mishaps, Katie finally chooses one talent that includes Palio. But at the talent show, she decides to drop out of the contest to help her friend, showing kindness is the best talent of all. Katie’s proud dad reassures her that she did the best thing and that while he loves many things about her, he loves her heart most of all.
Tim McGraw is: dad of three daughters, husband to Faith Hill, Country music superstar, Grammy Winner, American Music Award Winner, People’s Choice Winner, highest grossing tour in history (with wife, Faith Hill), and has sold more than 35 million albums. Yet, beneath all the accolades beats the heart of a dad who immensely loves his family.
Tom Douglas is a singer-songwriter who graduated from Oglethorpe University and received an MBA from Georgia State University. He is the writer of hits “Little Rock” by Collin Raye, “The Gift” by Jim Brickman, “Love’s the Only House” by Martina McBride, and “Grown Men Don’t Cry” by Tim McGraw. He and his wife have three children.

Love Your Heart by Tim McGraw and Tom Douglas is a wonderfully illustrated and well written book! The book is a great reminder of the unconditional love a parent has for their child. The story is short and written so that any child can sit and listen and discuss Katie's relationship with her dad.
As we read the book, the kids' attention was easily held! But, then again, my kids are little bookworms! They enjoyed the story and Zoe giggled when the "daddy" proclaims, "...But most of all. I love your heart."
Finding a good book with a smart, capable, caring, and totally affectionate father in it is very hard to do these days. To say that Zoe simply adores her father is putting it mildly. We strive to find books where a father is represented in a positive light to help encourage Zoe's growing relationship with her daddy. I love that the book calls the father, "daddy" because that's what most little girls call their dads (and some grown girls too...including me!).
Love Your Heart is a beautifully illustrated book that encourages father-daughter relationships. The book is also great in encouraging children to seek God's will for their lives and not necessarily expect their talents to stem from outward activities but from their heart and character! A plus, for our Bunch of Characters for sure.
