Mixed feelings
Author(s):
Description:
This exploration of mixed and wide-ranging emotions is presented in illustrated vignettes and beautifully articulate text. Each spread portrays a specific scenario involving a child and a phrase that reminds readers (young and old) that not all feelings can be summed up in a single word, or occur singularly. The text "Mostly happy but a little sad" accompanies a child leaving for the beach, but waving goodbye to his dog. "Like I'm trying hard to have fun" shows a child at a loud party, covering their ears. In her trademark style and funny-because-it's-real approach, Finck has created a deeply insightful book on feelings that validates the way we all experience the world. (1/27)

Description:
A philosophical albeit kid-friendly look at why a bird is a bird. Told from the first-person perspective of a chid, this thoughtful meditation on what makes a bird similar or different, ordinary or unique, will inevitably compel readers to reflect on what makes us human, and what makes us adhere to a variety of social constructs -- namely gender. Ultimately, the narrator decides that it doesn't matter what makes a bird. Whether they're similar or different, ordinary or unique, they can all just be birds!
