About the author

I wrote my first book when I was 8 years old. I glued photos of my cats in a blank book and wrote about them, too. Now I am an internationally-published children's author commended by the Library of Congress for my work encouraging children to read.
I write in a room between a deli and an art gallery on a small town street. I can see families walking by, and I can hear children laughing and playing. It helps me to remember what exactly I'm doing this for - creating books for families all over the world to use together, and helping children to love words.

Reviews

[Mehsi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Een interessant, best leuk boek over emoties. Ditmaal over blijdschap. Hoe je dat kunt uiten (zoals Floris die ronddanst), waarom iemand blij kan zijn, en hoe je ook anderen blij kunt maken. Nu wil ik ook nog iets zeggen over het meisje in het tweede verhaal, maar ik bedoel het niet racistisch, ik had moeite met zien dat zij blij was. Ik dacht eerder dat ze evil dingen aan het plotten was. Ik heb de platen ook aan mijn vriend laten zien, en hij was het met me eens. :P
Aan het einde van het boek is er nog een samenvatting, een uitleg over de woorden die zijn gebruikt, en ook nog wat extra dingen die je kunt doen met kinderen over dit thema. Zoals tekeningen maken, toneelstukjes, etc.
Dus een leuk boek.

This is read best during wake hours. There are some interactive ideas for you and your child to do at the end of the book such as role playing scenes from the book and drawing.
