Description

In this follow-up to the bestselling All Are Welcome, the creators return to help children navigate the emotional challenges they face in their daily lives when things don't go according to plan.

I have big feelings. You have them too. How can I help? What can we do?

What should we do when things don't go to plan? We may feel mad, frustrated, or overwhelmed, but by talking it through, compromising, and seeing another point of view, we can start fresh, begin anew.

As with its predecessor, its strength is again the diversity on display in its pages.

Publishers Weekly

The little cast is expressive and energetic, and the reward for their hard work—a cleaned-up lot, a fabulous tire swing, and a gleeful, communal puddle splash—feels well-deserved.

Publishers Weekly

In All Are Welcome, collaborators Penfold and Kaufman celebrated the spirit of inclusivity. Now comes the hard part: getting stuff done. A diverse group of children share the goal of converting a trash-filled lot into a playground. But cooperation is seldom a given, and "big feelings"--positive and negative--threaten the project: "Feeling bold./ Feeling mad.// Goodbye, happy./Hello, sad." (A pullout poster offers a list of emotions and attendant expressions.) The kids gradually realize that by acknowledging each other's feelings and working together, they can be successful: "I have big feelings./ You have them, too./ How can I help?/ What can we do?" Though the book lacks the exciting immediacy of the creators' previous effort, the little cast is expressive and energetic, and the reward for their hard work--a cleaned-up lot, a fabulous tire swing, and a gleeful, communal puddle splash--feels well-deserved. Ages 4-8. Author's agent: Susan Ginsburg, Writers House. Illustrator's agent: Alexandra Penfold, Upstart Crow Literary. (Mar.)
