The Feel Good Book

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • Parr’s signature illustrations, bordered by thick black lines and filled in with retro tangerines and mauves, are cheerful and bright.
    –Publishers Weekly
  • In a kids’ book, it’s easy for simple to become simply insubstantial, but Parr’s enthusiasm carries the day–and if you can be made to feel good, you will.
    –Paul Hughes
  • A perfect pick-me-up for any child who is having a bad day.
    –School Library Journal
