Heartprint Books

At Heartprint Books, we believe that stories have the power to shape hearts, build empathy, and stay with us long after the final page is turned.

Founded by author Martha Voorhees and educator Dr. Patrick Sanaghan, Heartprint Books is based in the heart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania - a place where rolling fields, deep roots, and close-knit communities inspire stories that matter.

We create soulful children’s books - tales of courage, kindness, curiosity, and the quiet magic found in everyday moments. From real-life animal rescues to whimsical adventures, our books celebrate the values that matter most: love, hope, family, and belonging.

Together, we craft timeless stories that speak to young readers and the people who guide them - parents, teachers, and dreamers of all ages.

Each story is made to leave a mark - not just on the page, but on the heart.

Because we believe the right story, at the right time, can change a life.

The stranger who holds the door just a little longer.

The dog who leans into your leg like it’s home.

The song you forgot you loved that shows up on the radio at exactly the right moment.

The handwritten note. The early sunrise. The laughter that comes out of...
