what topics are explored?!

little listeners will see themselves in some of their favorite activities as they are introduced to concepts of emotions and being, as well as some fun new words.

all through playful rhymes  a la...

alive is when you're playing,
when you're singing,
when you're glad

alive is when you're pouting,
when you're stomping
when you're sad

and then i finally got it,
i am alive indeed!
and i did it just by being, 
my success is guaranteed.

but as quick as i was giddy
i felt myself turn hot.
if i'm alive right now,
what happens when i'm not?

my mommy hugs me tighter,
and whispers in my ear,
the magic of alive
is it cannot dissapear.

to hear the poem in full, head here!

What an undertaking.., no easy, concrete, visible subject, like pets, or even feelings, like sad, grumpy, happy. Instead you took on answering a complicated question and made the answer funny and charming. I have really enjoyed reading it, enough to read it again and again!

I love it so much! I love the illustrations, the words, the text, the font- I really love it all. I am so excited for you and this book! It is such a lovely thing to put out into the universe. I teared up at the end from the message.
