Description

A tale about a tail, and a cat with some VERY big feelings.

Shibu the cat has a lot of feelings and thankfully his fluffy tail helps him express them all! But one day, Shibu realizes that all the other cats are keeping their feelings (and their tails) tucked away. Maybe it would be better to try and fit in? From two extraordinary debuts comes a delightful story on navigating life's highs, lows, and all the big emotions in between.

Critical Reviews

[STAR] "Thomas' emotive language elevates this picture book's simple story, complementing Fong's signature minimalistic illustrations... This book serves as a thoughtful resource to help readers build emotional awareness and understand that their feelings are worth sharing with others."

[STAR] "Thomas' cogent text and her focus on emotional intelligence will resonate with caregivers, while Fong's quietly comic pictures will tickle everyone. A winning blend of crisp design, child-appealing illustrations, and positive messaging about self-expression.
