Dagmara Sitek opens hearts and minds with her latest children's book, Loris Opens Up His Heart.

The newest release by Dagmara Sitek helps young readers understand that sometimes, opening up your heart is the bravest thing you can do. Just like the main character Loris, a boy in foster care, readers can share their fears and find acceptance in their safe space.

"I found that creating characters who come from foster homes was a perfect choice for this book," said author, Dagmara Sitek. "Their experiences allow kids to explore the themes of resilience against bullying, and single parenting more effectively."

An inspiration for the book was the death of Kamilek Mrozek, an eight-year-old boy from Czestochowa, Poland, who tragically lost his life in May 2023 after severe maltreatment at the hands of his stepfather. This heart-wrenching incident deeply affected the Polish community, sparking discussions on the critical issues of child abuse, empathy, and mental health.
