Apt nature metaphors make the complex topic of emotions more digestible; children can borrow the language herein until they find their own words to express their feelings. The sun can be ""welcoming, warm"" or ""stubborn, HOT! A raging, blazing glare."" The sea can be ""cautious, quiet"" or ""fearless, fierce."" The dreamy watercolor illustrations depict both the broad landscape of emotions and the breadth of a child's imagination"" - Foreword
