Do you feel happy? Sad? Silly? Angry? A board book all about feelings!
Lizzy Rockwell was inspired to create a book about emotional health
through her visits to the Adam J. Lewis Preschool. She said-
"Knowing how important self-awareness and empathy are to success in
all areas of life, I wanted to do a book that would be a helpful
tool to parents, teachers, and most especially children."
The daughter of highly acclaimed children's book author and
illustrator Anne Rockwell and art director and illustrator Harlow
Rockwell, Lizzy has illustrated more than thirty children's books,
some of which she also wrote.
She has been Grand Rounds Lecturer at Yale Child Study Center (2016
and 2017), was keynote speaker at the University of Findlay Mazza
Museum (2016), has delivered staff development workshops at Action
for Bridgeport Community Development, the Early Childhood Resource
Center at the New Haven Children's Museum (2017 and 2019), and
Cooperative Educational Services, Trumbull, CT (2015), and has
addressed the distinguished educators of the Delta Kappa Gamma
Society (2018).
"By highlighting each emotion separately and giving appropriate
focus to the face of the child feeling the emotion, with the
corresponding circumstantial scene on the opposite page, Rockwell
gives space for readers to talk about why the characters are
feeling that way. Facial clues such as blushed cheeks, tears, and
furrowed brows help readers learn to infer emotions from
expressions. Important work for children learning empathy and to
validate their own feelings." —Kirkus Reviews
"The short text and lucid acrylic paintings in this open-ended
picture book invite exploration of the visual narratives along with
discussion of emotions. Thoughtfully designed, deceptively simple,
and clearly useful."—Booklist
