BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Part illustrated poetry and part rhyming graphic novel, this fun collection of poems is all about emotions. Taylor addresses everything from sadness and anger to adventurous and sentimental with scenarios involving sibling conflicts, dragons, monkeys, piles of garbage, and more!
Every page brings a new surprise and elicits complementing emotions from the readers out of empathy and enjoyment. I love that all of the text rhymes, including in the intro, outro, and even the bio blurbs at the back of the book.
Characters of various skin types are depicted.
