by Sreekanth Kumar (Author), Sashi Sreekanth (Author), Julie Hang (Illustrator)

All Emotions Matter is a story about five emotions - Anger, Sadness, Fear, Joy and Love. The emotions spend their first day at elementary school learning a lot about each other and having fun. One of the emotions is unique and gets rejected by the other emotions for being different. However, during music class, the other emotions run into a problem that they cannot resolve. The unfamiliar emotion, despite being shunned, comes to their rescue, and the whole school rejoices. The emotions unite and learn a valuable lesson that differences, more than similarities, are needed to solve complex problems. The emotions also realize that to understand and appreciate experiences that are different from theirs, they need to pay attention to each emotion's unique problem. All Emotions Matter is a story that inspires children to open up about the many emotions they experience through a variety of real-life situations. Thoughtful and funny combined with whimsical illustrations, parents/teachers can use this book to encourage a healthy discussion with their children/students involving emotions, feelings and behavior.
