In a feel-good concept book, the Geisel Award-winning illustrator of
See the Cat gives young children a vocabulary for naming--and
managing--their emotions.
From delight to disgust, excitement to fear, worry to confidence,
boredom to curiosity, feelings can shift in a heartbeat. Mike
Wohnoutka's simple words and tender, nuanced illustrations follow three
young children as they traverse emotional highs and lows over the course
of a school day. The wide spectrum of emotions covered--far beyond
happy and sad--invites readers to share their own contradictory,
unpredictable, ever-present feelings. Vetted by an expert in the science
of children's emotions, this day in the inner life of three kids
encourages first steps toward emotional literacy and is a satisfying
narrative that ends with the adorable trio converging after school in
the park--ready for play!
