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 daughter really enjoyed this book!
    Each page expressed a different feeling in the little girl’s heart and my daughter connected one of the feelings in the book to her own feelings that day. It was great to see her understanding an emotion that she felt and telling me about it.
    It’s a cute book and I definitely see us reading this one a lot!

    5.0 out of 5 stars My 4 yo daughter loves it!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Such a sweet book to introduce a variety of basic feelings to toddlers. My daughter was around 18 months when COVID hit, and she missed out on precious social interaction, which has let to some frustrations in regards to her speech and her ability to express herself.
    I was looking for books about feelings/emotions, since it seemed Penny couldn't express much beyond "happy," or "sad." What attracted this specific one to me first is the lovely cutout heart that gets smaller with each turn of the page. As soon as we got it, she immediately ask me to read it. She lovingly traced each heart with her fingers after we read every feeling. She loves the simple drawings, and asking questions about each little detail.
    Within about a week of reading this book, she was able to share with me on two seperate occasions that she felt shy and afraid, two emotions expressed in the book. Not only that, but feeling "brave" has her reminding me almost every day now how big and strong she is!
    I highly recommend this book for any little ones around 3-6. We love it!
