Corey’s Peaceful Heart
Story by Judy C. Henry. Illustrations by Robin Baird Lewis.
When Corey wakes, he knows something is missing. Uh Oh! He has to have it in time for school. Is it a buzzy bee or a big brown bear? Will he find it in the bathtub or under the bed? Corey’s discovery will make readers’ hearts smile, too. In this engaging story for 3- to 7-year-olds, children are introduced to a simple tool that allows them to move from stressful situations to the peace and calm in their own hearts. Corey’s Peaceful Heart features the Shift and Shine Technique, HeartMath’s heart coherence process for young children ages 3-6.
Meet the Author, Judy Henry
Judy Henry is a retired educator and social-emotional learning advocate. The first time Judy shared Corey’s story was with a group of fifty wiggly Kindergartners. As she read, they felt peace blanket the whole room. In that moment, they knew – Corey’s story needed to become a book with pictures. Judy hopes that Corey’s Peaceful Heart will contribute to happier, more peaceful lives for young children around the world, both at home and in their early childhood programs.
About the Publisher
GP Press began with a little green heart.
Years ago, when Corey’s Peaceful Heart was first finding its way into the world, Judy Henry visited my school library to share the story with students. We stayed connected through the years, and when the time came to carry Corey into a new chapter, Judy asked me to become the book’s next steward.
Together, we brought Corey’s Peaceful Heart back into print. Judy shared the publishing lessons she had learned through years of trial and error, and I worked through the logistics of launching a publishing imprint with support from The FORGE, SparkANew’s creative business incubator. What began as one family project soon raised a larger question: How many other meaningful stories are waiting for a pathway into the world?
GP Press grew from that conversation. Today, the press helps authors, educators, artists, and creative entrepreneurs shape and share work that strengthens connection, preserves knowledge, and contributes to the communities it serves. We believe stories carry care across time, place, and generations, and that good stewardship helps those stories continue their journey.
