Star Wars: Search Your Feelings by Caitlin Kennedy, Calliope Glass
5.0
Could the inner Star Wars nerd in me resist a book with this cover, called Search Your Feelings?
No. I didn't even try, because why would I? This book has all of your favorite characters in adorable pint-sized illustrations by Katie Cook, and I probably should have bought another copy so that I could deface it and put some in frames. Each illustration is paired with the name of an emotion, and a few verses of rhyme that explain what that word means. (And I know we've talked about how pedantic I am about rhyme schemes, and yes, there's a couple of verses that... fall short of the requested perfection, but not enough to put me off the whole book,)
Examples of verses that it just right though, include "Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie, disgusted and stuck in slime. Frantically call Threepio, to get out just in time." and "'These aren't the droids you're looking for,' the old man calmly stated. But the stormtroopers were confused, mixed up and agitated." This book is going to be a big hit with my Star Wars loving nephew (age 5), who's ready for an introduction to some more complex emotional vocabulary, so long as they're introduced in a relatable way. Being able to match up this face of Lando's to the word "guilty", is just the kind of stretch-learning he needs right now.
