Review: Heartwarming for kids—and surprisingly healing for adults too - I originally bought this book for my nephew, thinking it would be a sweet little read. What I didn’t expect was how deeply it would resonate with me as an adult. The gentle rhymes, comforting words, and beautiful illustrations remind us that it’s okay to feel lost, mad, or not okay—and that we’re not alone in those feelings. It’s simple enough for children to understand, yet profound enough to tug at the heartstrings of grown-ups too. A must-have for any child’s bookshelf—and honestly, a lovely emotional hug for the adults reading it to them.

Such a great message!
I bought this for my daughter to read, but I’ve ended up buying it for several of my friends with kids as well because the message is so nice. I only deduct one star because the writing is slightly odd in the way that the book progresses. The ideas jump around a little bit when it could’ve had a smoother organization.

Possibly a Bad Translation...
Overall a good book with a good message for young kids, but it's either been translated to English poorly or wasn't edited and proofread very well; a few pages have misspellings and several pages have random capitalization. The art style is also inconsistent from page to page,which makes the book feel like a collection of random illustrations from various sources with text laid over them.

Good book for emotions for a 3 year old
I bought for my grandson as his parents are expecting another child. Felt it might help with all the emotions he will be having.
