A Place Inside of Me: A Poem to Heal the Heart is a 2020 picture book written by Zetta Elliott and illustrated by Noa Denmon.

Critics praised its accessible approach to serious topics including police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, as well as its illustrations, for which Denmon received a 2021 Caldecott Honor.

In the aftermath of the killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castle in July 2016, she decided to turn the poem into a children's book.

[4] Elliott dedicated it to the nephew of Atatiana Jefferson, a Black woman who was shot and killed in her home by a policeman in Fort Worth, Texas, in October 2019.

Several reviewers commented that it would be an effective aid for starting discussions about police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement with younger children.
