Ups and downs: a book of emotions - mike wohnoutka

In a feel-good concept book, the Geisel Award-winning illustrator of See the Cat gives young children a vocabulary for naming--and managing--their emotions.

From delight to disgust, excitement to fear, worry to confidence, boredom to curiosity, feelings can shift in a heartbeat.

Mike Wohnoutkas simple words and tender, nuanced illustrations follow three young children as they traverse emotional highs and lows over the course of a school day.

The wide spectrum of emotions covered--far beyond happy and sad --invites readers to share their own contradictory, unpredictable, ever-present feelings.

Vetted by an expert in the science of childrens emotions, this day in the inner life of three kids encourages first steps toward emotional literacy and is a satisfying narrative that ends with the adorable trio converging after school in the park--ready for play!.
