Praise for Todd Parr: "It's rare that a children's author appeals to adults, but when it happens, it's usually magic: Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein.... Well, I've found another to add to the list: Todd Parr." --Kansas City Star "Each book offers his bold, almost Haringesque signature style incorporating primary colors with messages that encourage and empower children to communicate their feelings while embracing their individuality." --Los Angeles Advocate
"Offering practical, comforting guidance, Parr crafts a conversational guide to working through mental overwhelm.... For young readers still learning how to identify their emotions, this friendly feelings primer offers early coping skills."

This little book packs a lot of power for educators' and parents' tool belts. An essential purchase for all libraries."--School Library Journal "Images rendered in Parr's typical style...grab attention and communicate the author's thoughtful text, well pitched to his young audience."--Kirkus Reviews
