A visual introduction to the heart and circulatory system

Seymour Simon’s revised picture book introduces the heart as a working organ within the wider circulatory system. It traces the path from the heart’s chambers to capillaries, explaining how blood moves through vessels while the body is walking, eating, and sleeping. Clear, simple text is paired with full-color photographs, giving young learners concrete visual reference points for anatomical terms and body processes. The compact format makes it a focused starting point for understanding how the heart continually pumps blood throughout the body, with material that can also support school research on human anatomy.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning to explore the human body
  • Students preparing introductory reports on the heart or circulatory system
  • Families and classrooms seeking photograph-supported science nonfiction

Book overview

Join award-winning science writer Seymour Simon as he investigates one of the body's most important organs: the heart.

Acclaimed science writer Seymour Simon brings you this indispensable guide that takes you through the heart, from atrium to capillary and back again.

By the time you finish reading these words, your heart may have beaten up to 50 times. As you walk, eat, and sleep, your heart continually pumps trillions of blood cells through thousands of miles of blood vessels inside your body. You may not be able to see your own heart, but all you have to do is look inside this book to see how this amazing organ works.

With clear, simple text and stunning full-color photographs, readers will learn all about our hearts and how they work in this informative picture book.

Perfect for young scientists' school reports, this book supports the Common Core State Standards.
