In My Heart: A Book of Feelings (Growing Hearts)

Product Description Starring the same little girl in the same charming illustration style as Hello In There!, In My Heart explores emotions--happiness, sadness, bravery, anger, shyness and more. Unlike other feelings books that tend to oversimplify, In My Heart lyrically explains what an emotion feels like, physically, inside. For example: "When I get really angry, my heart feels like it's going to explode! Don't come near me! My heart is yelling, hot and loud. This is when my heart is mad." Toddlers will be empowered by this new vocabulary and able to practice articulating and identifying their own emotions. On the cover and the right side of each spread, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book. Review "...evocative imagery, popping with bright colors against the effectively used white background."--Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Carroll County Public Library, MD "School Library Journal" (12/1/2014 12:00:00 AM) "Witek covers an impressive emotional range while Roussey's childlike drawings evoke each feeling with a playful style."-- "Publishers Weekly" (11/10/2014 12:00:00 AM) STARRED REVIEW "Consider this beautifully designed French import a must-have for any storytime or one-on-one sharing regarding the somewhat sticky subject of feelings."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (10/1/2014 12:00:00 AM) About the Author Jo Witek is the author of Hello in There!
