With simple, sparse language, and bright, expressive illustrations, Lizzy Rockwell introduces very young readers to a wide range of emotions. Detailed art encourages identification and discussion of the different characters' emotional reactions, and serves as a springboard for discussion on emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and coping skills.

Note: I received an F&G at ALA Midwinter 2020. ( )

The first double-page spread shows a scene at a park/playground, along with the question, How do you feel? Each subsequent page zooms in on one person from the first scene, showing their expression in detail on the left-hand page and their context on the right-hand page (e.g. Do you feel sad? --> a boy leaning over a dead bird on the ground). The final spread asks again, How do you feel? and the scene has changed. The final endpaper shows difference faces' expressions (happy, sad, silly, sorry, scared, calm, shy, mad, brave, friendly).
