How can the heart see unless it is like Adnan's heart, full of
light?
The story of my heart sees tells the story of the fingers that
explore life, and the heart that radiates light.

Values implied in story:

1. Belief in the uniqueness of each person's abilities: Adnan sees with his heart and uses his other senses with distinction, which encourages the discovery of abilities rather than focusing on deficits.

2. Family cooperation: The strong relationship between a brother and sister, and how they help each other, highlights the value of cooperation and support within the family.

3. Courage in difficult situations: Adnan didn't panic when the power went out, but took the initiative to bring candles, which teaches courage and self-confidence.

4. Positivity and a bright outlook on life: Despite challenges, children believe that "life is beautiful because we are together," which fosters optimism and positivity.
