I loved the premise of this book, comparing feelings and emotions to the changing seasons. The prose written was lyrical and lovely, but unfortunately, I was left wanting more! It seemed like there should be several more pages or illustrations to match the text. Because the text is filled with metaphors I'd definitely recommend this for readers on the higher end of the 6-10 year old spectrum. Overall, it was good but needs more to lead the reader satisfied. It feels incomplete as is.

This short and sweet children's book on understanding one's emotions is beautifully poetic and full of soothing imagery! It reminds me of "Breathe like a Bear" by Kira Wiley! This book is sweet, straightforward, and sure to help little ones visualize their emotions and better understand the nature of them! My son related to Aurora, the main character who is being read to by her parents in this story. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars, only because it's so short, and I think there is a lot of potential for more to be written! Our favorite part of the book was when Aurora described how she would like to get her emotions out in a physical way that related to the nature of her emotions, like; "...stomp my feet like the rain pounding the ground or shout into the wind." I hope the author adds more ro this story someday, as we would certainly read it!

This short verse was about a young girl named Aurora, her connection with nature, and her connection with her big feelings. As a parent I related to this a lot and appreciated the writing, but I feel like the lyrical and poetic writing style may be advanced for young readers. It is noted that it is best for readers aged 6-10 but I think it leans more towards the older side of that range based on the writing.
