On sad days her heart feels heavy like an elephant.
A little girl describes how she feels with each emotion. I think that this is an interesting book for young children because they can be seen reflected in the feelings of the girl and their different ways of expressing them.Įach page of this book talks about a different emotion and the cut out hearts grow smaller until the end of the book. Also talk about respect for the feelings of the other, in which occasions we can hurt the feelings of the people around us. The aspects that I would emphasize when reading this book would be important and the narrative that is to express what we feel. This book can be cataloged as therapeutic, since the child is presented with different ways in which he can exemplify what he feels. Another aspect to highlight in this book is how the author develops the transition of feelings. In addition, the drawings give the impression of being colored by hand. The images have colors of the eye of the child. The illustrations are made on a white background which highlights each aspect of the drawing. In its cover we can see a great heart die-cut, with the edges in different colors and that decreases in size as we explore each of the feelings. One of the aspects that attracts the book is its physical aspect. This is a great book that can be used as a support for the child's socio-emotional development.
The language used is simple, lyrical and demonstrative, which is expressed through short paragraphs. The storyline is about a little girl who talks about different types of feelings and how she perceives and expresses them. I like it because it is a book that allows the reader to see himself through feelings.
