making sense of mixed-together feelings
"Happy, and also sad. Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy--the quiet kind and the 'noisy, giggly, jump and run' kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and . . . illustrations, a little girl talks about her many layered feelings, ultimately concluding, 'When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don't have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time.'"--Publisher.
