Description
Book Synopsis
With luminous, evocative illustrations and rhymed texts, this book gently explores the feeling of loneliness through the perspective of a young girl. In a world where many children, and adults, are grappling with such intense emotions, When I Feel Lonely provides a calm, compassionate and understanding voice, helping young readers to recognize and name their feelings. This newest book about emotions from a beloved author and illustrator is a powerful and timely exploration of childhood loneliness.- It acknowledges that, while feeling alone is natural and something everyone experiences, it also conveys how unsettling and scary the sensation can be.
- In her characteristically sensitive style, Teckentrup explores the quiet moments when the world seems distant and we are left grappling with the heavy silence that surrounds us.
- The narrative doesn't shy away from the intensity of these emotions, instead offering an honest portrayal of how loneliness can feel like an all-encompassing shadow.
The book reassures children that while loneliness can be sad and difficult, it is a part of life that everyone experiences. And best of all it offers a glimmer of hope, showing that even in the darkest moments, there is the possibility of light and connection ahead.
