It’s Raining Hearts

Gloria Kisekka-Ndawula & Katarina Strömgård

Zalwango is IN LOVE! So much in love that her whole body tingles, so much she has to hug a tree, so much it is raining hearts everywhere – on the way to school, in the park… But the name of the person she is in love with is secret, so she says Lovey instead! When they look at each other in class, Lovey’s cheeks look a bit scarlet, and every day they sit next to each other in the cafeteria. Is Lovey in love with her too? Will Zalwango have the courage to express her feelings?
A tribute in text and image to that first great love, the thunderous and self-explanatory. Gloria Kisekka- Ndawula’s picture book debut makes us happy. Gorgeously illustrated by Katarina Strömgård.

“Zalwango’s joy is contagious, not least through Katarina Strömgård’s illustrations that flow over the entire spread in warm watercolors. It is clear that the world of the person in love is wonderfully illuminated and love is enough for everyone.” BTJ
