Sea friends are playing tag.  Dolphin accidentally swims into two of his friends.  OUCH! Suddenly a variety of emotions are swimming alongside the friends.  A wise octopus floats over and begins sharing the names of their emotions and a simple way to help calm down and understand each friend’s feelings a little better.  Before they know it, the friends are again having fun and experiencing fun emotions, too!

I loved the simplicity of this book.  Accidents happen, and emotions happen. It's ok to feel those emotions, but finding ways to turn them around is a lifelong habit to form in early years of life.  Whether the feelings are big or small, all emotions need to be explored and understood.
