Peyton loves things like playing outside, swinging, and coloring with crayons, but she isn’t always happy. Sometimes she gets upset when her parents say no to her. As Peyton gets angry, she experiences intense emotions, which begin to fill her body. These elicit various reactions, like scrunching her face, stomping her feet, and yelling. When this happens, she gets in trouble. To prevent this, she has found a way to calm her mind. She closes her eyes and listens to the sounds around her, and breathes in and out slowly three times. Her imagination takes her to a palace where she can explore, play games, and meet new friends. Anyone can achieve this with imagination, but Peyton is also happy to share her palace with you. In the palace, Freddy Feelings is the butler. Freddy has lots of feelings like everyone else. What does Freddy say about feelings in It’s Okay to Have Feelings by Patricia A. Miller?
It’s Okay to Have Feelings by Patricia A. Miller is an amazing story that will resonate with many young readers as they try to navigate emotions as they grow and develop. Analogies used, like that of the mirror, make the work excellent in passing on the intended message. Patricia is very effective in showing different feelings, like fear, that are also important in certain situations. Parents and guardians will also appreciate the message of creativity, which is encouraged in this work. Lauren Fantin did an excellent job of capturing the attention of young readers with her illustrations. The language used is also appropriate for young readers and is a good way to learn new vocabulary. I look forward to reading more by Patricia A. Miller.
