I have always found it difficult to talk about feelings. With MY HEART IS LIKE A ZOO, I try to reassure young childrenfor whom many feelings can seem confusing, frightening, or complicatedthat it's normal to have lots of different kinds of feelings, both good and bad, and it's okay to talk about them.
MY HEART IS LIKE A ZOO pairs animal similes with brightly colored illustrations composed from the shape of a heart. I hope it will provide a comfortable and fun context for parents and children to talk about feelings.
