And this is one of those picture books which isn't just beautiful to look at, but has so much like depth and meaning to it. It's about a little girl who's struggling with her temper and her emotions and trying to figure out how to deal with feelings that don't fit in or seem to have a place and what to do with them and why you're experiencing them, which I think is just such a lovely topic and an important topic for little ones to explore.
