Even though our grandchild is not even a year old, I will get them these books. It is never too soon to learn about emotions felt from birth, and just as important as colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and all the other things we are eager for them to learn. Thank you for writing and illustrating these books – they are helpful as well as adorable.

This is adorable! I think I experiences all these grumpy emotions last month when I was told that the thermostat at work was going to be "officially set at 72 degrees" (which is too cold for me when the vent blows on my head). I was definitely "thunderstormy mad" that I wasn't considered, so I can relate to everyone in this book. :) As always, you've done an incredible job and continue to inspire me.
