Review Quotes

"Children who lack the vocabulary to distinguish the emotions they're feeling may find some comfort in this book, which makes use of masks to unmask feelings . . . The book has a use, whether teaching the names of emotions, or helping children express them." --Kirkus Reviews, on the English language edition
