Each spread of this book has a cartoon drawing, an emotion labeled, and a narrative poem. The poem describes an event from the span of the Star Wars stories and is associate with the designated emotion.
This is an entertaining book, but it has a couple of drawbacks. First is that you would have to know the broader Star Wars narrative to understand most of the poems. Second, the emotions are labeled, but they would have been more useful if they were explained and there was some dialogue about their purpose.
