Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—Although this picture book exploration of feelings takes a similar list-and-describe approach to that of Jamie Lee Curtis's Today I Feel Silly: And Other Moods That Make My Day (HarperCollins, 2007) and Dr. Seuss's My Many-Colored Days (Knopf, 1998), don't count that against it. The approach still works, especially when the feelings evoked have such child-friendly imagery ("My heart is yelling, hot and loud," the child narrator explains). The book pairs brief verbal explorations of emotions with evocative imagery, popping with bright colors against the effectively used white background. Throughout the representative illustrations—a bright yellow star to represent happiness, an elephant to represent sadness, a silhouette of the Big Bad Wolf to represent fear—a series of heart cutouts, ever decreasing in size, appears on the pages, until the heroine is able to find her feelings everywhere.—Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD

My toddler loves this book
I received this book with the cover dirty, which was upsetting but not worth resending back, I don’t have that much time to spare. The story was really nice. I read it to my little girl making different sounds depending on the emotion described and she enjoys it. The colors and shapes provided extra teaching things to my kid. For instance, what color is the house? What shape is this? Etc. The cut out hearts within the story are beautiful, easy engaging illustrations, age appropriate for my 2 year old as she is learning about emotions. I loved it and I am thinking about buying it as gifts to my friends whose kids are 2-5 years old.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 3, 2019
    The Mental Health Book Club Podcast loved this book, both Becky and Sydney gave it 5*.

    This book is a fantastic read and is a must for schools, children’s libraries as well as children’s bookshelves. The books heart concept is perfectly represented by the cut-out heart which decreases in size as the book moves on.

    It is fun, beautiful and a great teaching tool. The book explains emotions in a simple and yet profound way. Children are able to understand the variety of emotions we feel and understand how you might feel them physically.

    The book can be read alone by advanced readers, but more usefully it can be read with an adult to help start a conversation around emotions and their validity.
