9/10 Rhyme book that teaches it is okay to feel and show emotions not sure what age group it is meant for (mix of vocab and concepts)

This is a beautiful book about feelings and emotions. I love how it teaches that big emotions are ok! And the illustrations are lovely!

I'm trying to find a book on empathy, and understanding other kids' feelings. This one doesn't quite meet that goal, but it does do a good job of speaking to those kids who seem to feel emotions on a bigger scale than their peers. I definitely had big, big feelings as a kid (and adult, if I'm honest) and always felt like that was a flaw. This is a great book for kids like that, and I think its especially important that it's a boy, since we still really need to normalize boys and men having emotions.

It's okay. Maybe good, even. Pretty illustrations.

Helps to normalize having big feelings, finding like people to share them with.

Protagonist seems needlessly gendered.
