Official synopsis Publisher
From acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck comes a validating and heartfelt feelings book like none other.
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.
