Big Feelings by Alexandra Penfold

This is super repetitve and vague, and it's never clear why anyone is feeling what they're feeling. You're just told that they are.

Addresses big feelings and super inclusive. Love seeing a wheelchair in the book, too.

A group of diverse neighborhood children work together to create a project...and each experience a wide range of emotions.

A little over-simplified.

Liked the diversity and the illustrations, but the rhyming was not for me.

This would be the perfect book for a storytime on feelings! It's nice and short but sends a great message. The pictures are really charming and I loved all of the representation among the characters - we had kids of color, kids with mobility aids...I think in the picture where it shows all of our characters playing I saw a child who was blind and one with a yamaka! Just an all around great book for discussing the wide range of feelings we all share!

I think this would work well in a lower grade classroom

Another great book by Alexandra Penfold. The rhyming and illustrations will draw young readers in. An excellent message.
