Story Synopsis
If you place a hand on your chest, you can feel a steady tap‑tap. This story explains that sound as your heart doing its gentle job. The heart is described as a small pump. A pump moves things, and your heart moves blood all through your body. The story uses warm imagery—blood as a little river carrying good things: oxygen and food to your fingers and toes. Each “boom‑boom” is a squeeze. Then the heart relaxes, fills up again, and squeezes once more—over and over, day and night. The tone stays soft and reassuring: your heart works for you even when you’re busy playing, and even when you’re asleep. Curiosity stories like this help children feel comfortable in their own bodies. They also build early science vocabulary and show that reading can be a calm way to understand yourself—one gentle question at a time.
