In My Heart: A Book of Feelings

Published USA, 2013
My heart is full of feelings.
Big feelings and small feelings.
Loud feelings and quiet feelings.
Quick feelings and slow feelings.
My heart is like a house with all these feelings living inside.

Using the metaphor of colour - in a similar fashion to Dr Seuss and My Many Coloured Days - this big book celebrates feelings in all their shapes and sizes. Yellow is happy; blue is strong; orange is angry; green is calm - colour becomes the unifying theme, not over-simplified, but described in a sentence or more. On the cover and the right-hand side of each page, a die-cut heart decreases in size, creating a multi-coloured heart the depth of the entire book.
