Age 5+
General Fiction
A unique and powerful look at the ways being sensitive and having big feelings is a strength.
"You feel way too much."" / ""Will you stop being dramatic?"
A young girl hears messages that she's too sensitive and needs to change. In a slightly surreal moment, the messages travel inside her body and won't leave her alone. It is only when she gets time to herself that she finds a solution—she transforms the negative comments into a poem affirming that being sensitive is her strength. A unique and thoughtful picture book that builds empathy and compassion.
