Through zany, high-contrast illustrations of animals and mythical creatures, it moves beyond simple happy or sad labels to introduce complex concepts like curiosity and bravery.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book remains secular and metaphorical. It treats all emotions, including negative ones like anger or fear, as natural states of being. There is no specific traumatic content, though it acknowledges 'raging' and 'fearful' states in a way that is supportive rather than distressing.
