A Place for Feelings

From critically acclaimed author Corey Ann Haydu and artist Geeta Ladi comes a poetic picture book about what to do when your feelings are just too big to put somewhere-a gentle encouragement for young readers looking to find ways to share their feelings instead of keeping them hidden.

In Mara’s very tidy town, there’s a perfect place for everything.

There’s a rose garden for roses. A rack in Mara’s hallway for her muddy-day shoes. There’s even a jar for cinnamon-swirl-rainbow-sprinkle cookies.

But when Mara’s feelings are too wild, too messy, too much, where will they fit
