From the publisher

What makes you feel happy, grumpy, shy, or surprised? Talking about emotions can help children understand them. In this brightly illustrated board book, an adorable–and relatable–prickly porcupine names and describes a variety of emotions, inspiring children and caregivers to talk about how they feel. Author-illustrator Jeffrey Turner has worked with many autistic children and special needs children, and has seen that these children often need help in identifying what they are feeling, as they don’t always have the words to do so. He has also raised a child with special needs, who wanted to understand what he was feeling, imagined or real, and why. He used his experiences to create this book in hopes it would be a tool for all young children to understand themselves.
