What is Sometimes I Feel... about?

Feelings can be huge, tiny, noisy or quiet. In this thoughtful picture book, emotions are explored through the world of animals: a bear may feel powerful, while a mouse discovers unexpected courage. With poetic words and expressive illustrations, each animal helps children recognise and understand a different feeling, from confidence and excitement to shyness and sadness. Sometimes we feel big, and sometimes we feel small, but every emotion matters—and even the smallest creature can stand tall.
