What a Cool Book!

WALTER WAS WORRIED, by Laura Seeger
No AR Quiz Available

This delightful picture book follows children’s feelings and emotions as they track weather—from the beginning of a storm, to the rain turning to snow, and finally the sky clearing and the sun coming out. Text and art are combined in an ingenious way—each child’s face is made up of the letters in the word that is being used to describe how they’re feeling. I loved the way my emotions changed with each turn of the page—the pictures and the words together set the mood completely. In the beginning of the book, I read slowly, trepidly…then, as the mood shifted, I began to read quicker, almost skipping through the pages. What a great book!
