February is a month where love takes center stage. But love isn’t just about grand gestures or romantic moments—it’s also about kindness, connection, and the little things that make our hearts full. At AcuteByDesign, we believe books are some of the greatest messengers of love. This February, we’re spotlighting Heartfelt and Abuelita’s Tree, two stories that beautifully capture the spirit of compassion and connection.
A Tale of Dreams, Determination, and Kindness
Meet Heartfelt, a “special needs” reindeer with shorter back legs and a unique gift: she can see into people’s hearts and understand their deepest wishes. Heartfelt has one dream—to be a regular member of Santa’s team. But when she learns about a little boy named James, who’s lost his belief in magic, she faces a heartwarming choice: stay on the sidelines or use her gift to help James rediscover the joy of Christmas.
Heartfelt isn’t just a story for the holiday season—it’s a year-round reminder that acts of kindness can light up the world. With enchanting illustrations and a touching message, this book shows that being different is a strength, and love is the most magical gift of all.
