Wow! This is such a cool book! Each page shows a picture of a creature who personifies a feeling or emotion. Accompanying the picture is 1-2 short lines of text naming the feeling and describing what it does. For example, fear is hiding (camouflaged) because often those who are afraid hide (freeze in fight, flight, freeze) and maybe also because people try to hide their fears from others - not wanting to let anyone in. Another example (my favourite lol) is nostalgia sniffs a scarf and in the picture we only see the back of nostalgia as they are looking at pictures framed on a wall of similar looking creatures wearing the scarf. Super cute lol. I think parents and kids would enjoy this book together. I also think that this would be a fabulous introduction to lessons on emotions, especially because there are so many different emotions described, many of which some children may have never heard of! The book ends with a reminder that all of these emotions are within all of us. I think that normalizing the fact that we experience a range of emotions daily is very important for even very young children. As a grade 3 teacher I could definitely see this book in my classroom library and would recommend it to parents and teachers of children in the age 4-10 range. I could also see it as part of a project for older children to look at figurative language and emotions that they may not know about such as nostalgia or longing. Thanks so much to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this amazing book! I will definitely head out to pick up a copy once it is published!

Nu ļoti, ļoti forša grāmata par emocijām - ko tās dara mūsos visos. Ļoti trāpīgi un asprātīgi. Minimāls daudzums teksta, maksimāls efekts. Visu papildina vienkārši fantastiskas Aleksandras Zajoncas ilustrācijas. Bērnu grāmatās vispār puse, ja pat ne vairāk kredīta būtu jādod ilustratoram.
Un ziniet, ko dara Aizrautība?
"Aizrautība skrien pie drauga ar tikko atklātu grāmatu."
Emocijas, kas mums visiem ir labi pazīstamas.
