“Comforting story about emotions”
(Hardback)
by Elizabeth
Sensitive by Sara Levine is about a nameless girl repeatedly being told she is too sensitive or to stop being such a baby. Another thing others say is that her feelings frighten people. It is an excellent point to make to children that their emotions might confuse or frighten others, causing them to say hurtful things because they don't understand them. The book describes how dismal everything people said made the girl feel. The words "jostled and tumbled" inside her; what a perfect depiction! The girl found that if she spent quiet time alone doing the things she enjoyed, it helped. She then discovered that she could write down her emotions, which soothed her further. The book is straightforward and stellar in its portrayal of this issue. The illustrations are superb. The author includes a sweet note at the end explaining more about 'sensitive people' and ideas for coping. There is a link to a lovely activity about the book. This story will help sensitive children, or those with other outside-the-box emotions, to feel they are also normal and maybe even special people. Thank you to NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group for the ARC of this book.
