KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- In 2018, a New York State-certified school counselor and mother of two noticed a lack of children’s picture books on intuition, a vital life tool. With three master’s degrees and 10 years of experience, she was inspired to fill this gap.
- The tragic loss of Renée’s younger brother in 2022 deeply impacted her, with writing serving as a therapeutic outlet to cope with the shock, anger, and depression of grief.
- The book incorporates numerous spiritual elements, including angel numbers, symbolic animals like a cardinal, dragonfly, and turtle, and settings like the beach, where the author feels most connected to her intuition—all reflecting themes of guidance, resilience, and celebrating her brother.

BIOGRAPHY: Renée Greene Murphy
Multi-award-winning children’s book, author of Your Heart’s Voice, one of the first children’s picture books on intuition. Your Heart’s Voice is dedicated to my little brother, who tragically passed in a car accident in 2022. Writing was therapeutic for me during the initial stages of grief, so I ended up dedicating my book to him and adding him as a main character. Jade learns three life lessons throughout the story, and by listening to our heart’s voice, she makes the right choice and feels good about herself. Robert, my brother in the story, teaches her that her heart voice is indeed her intuition. Your heart voice is an excellent supplemental tool in any classroom for students ages five and up to help increase self-awareness, self-esteem, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
