AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Starting with fear, every time Llewelyn feels a feeling, he locks it away in a jar and tries to forget it. One day, however, There is no more room and the jars all crack. How will Llewlyn deal with all of those feelings now? 

While simplistic in message, Marcero writes a great book about the importance of owning, acknowledging and then releasing feelings. Beyond students enjoying the book for its lively illustrations and cute bunnies, school therapists will love this for sharing and talking to kids who want help. Great end papers and a cover case surprise.
