What is The little box of feelings about?

Valle keeps all her feelings tucked away in a little box. Happiness floats like red balloons, sadness gathers like grey rainclouds, and anger and jealousy rumble like a wild storm. When her emotions feel too much, Valle buries them in the garden. But when Nanny visits, Valle begins to discover that feelings are not something to hide. With Nanny’s help, she learns to name, understand and share her emotions, finding that talking about them can make them easier to carry.
