This book is a great way to show/teach a variety of feelings and how they are not visible on the outside. I LOVED the cutout of the boy/girl throughout the book. They stand there very still while experiencing each emotion. This would work best as a one-on-one story in order to appreciate the unique illustrations.
A word of caution; on the scared emotion page there are some silhouettes of monsters that might be scary to some children.

A new favourite picture book of mine! This book beautifully shows a large number of different emotions and how these can make you feel. This would be perfect to use with younger children who often struggle to identify how they are feeling as well as older children who may feel like they are different because of their feelings. Each page shows a different emotion and the book ends by explaining how each person feels differently and we should think about how other people might be feeling in the same situation. This book would be fantastic to use to base PSHE lessons around as it would generate good discussions about how the children are feeling. It could also be read one to one with a child if they are struggling with their emotions.

Such a pretty cover reminiscent of [a:Britta Teckentrup|153061|Britta Teckentrup|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1335450922p2/153061.jpg]'s covers. But the narrative is choppy and more a series of feelings than any kind of cohesive story that is just a little too wordy.

The illustrations, although softly colored and textured, fill the pages with emotions. The young person at the center of all these feelings remains (e)motionless on the final page while each feeling swirls around them. This sounds cool, but from a practical reading standpoint it didn’t work out so well. As the reader I had to really work to hold the pages flat over that final page so we could see the person.
The descriptions of each feeling were more poetic and less straightforward. Beautiful and accurate, but definitely more flowery than bald facts.

I liked it much better than the similar Dr. Seuss book. It clarified what feelings feel like... instead of just associating them with a color. Worth remembering.
