Descripción editorial
Beautifully illustrated by Madalena Moniz’s subtle watercolors, Today I Feel . . . follows a child through a whole range of emotions, from adored to curious to strong. Not all of the emotions are positive and not all of them are simple, but they are all honest and worthy of discussion with a young child.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Gently expressive compositions represent 26 emotions or states of being in an alphabet book originally published in Portugal. A boy with a swoop of brownish-blond hair appears in each scene, and although the text is limited to the featured emotions, Moniz's artwork, and the creative treatments she applies to each letter, have a great deal to say about what the boy is thinking. In one spread, the boy stares, "jealous," out a window at a flying kite; the corresponding Jis a tangle of ribbons that both echoes the kite's tail and suggests the knotty twists of the emotion itself. Though not every entry is a home run ("X.O.X.O.'ed," "Zzzz"), Moniz's imaginative and pensive scenes reward careful attention. Ages 3 5.
