This short verse was about a young girl named Aurora, her connection with nature, and her connection with her big feelings. As a parent I related to this a lot and appreciated the writing, but I feel like the lyrical and poetic writing style may be advanced for young readers. It is noted that it is best for readers aged 6-10 but I think it leans more towards the older side of that range based on the writing.

This short and sweet children's book on understanding one's emotions is beautifully poetic and full of soothing imagery! It reminds me of "Breathe like a Bear" by Kira Wiley! This book is sweet, straightforward, and sure to help little ones visualize their emotions and better understand the nature of them! My son related to Aurora, the main character who is being read to by her parents in this story. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars, only because it's so short, and I think there is a lot of potential for more to be written! Our favorite part of the book was when Aurora described how she would like to get her emotions out in a physical way that related to the nature of her emotions, like; "...stomp my feet like the rain pounding the ground or shout into the wind." I hope the author adds more ro this story someday, as we would certainly read it!

This is a beautifully written story about the growth and strength of a young girl. Comparing emotions to the natural elements is brilliant, and this text teaches young readers about the available support to tackle difficult emotions. I definitely recommend this read for juvenile and adult audiences alike.

I loved the way that this described feelings from the child’s point of view versus the typical third person view. This is a great read and helps to explain how our feelings continue to grow, change and evolve and that they should be accepted as they are a part of us.

I really loved this book and while I know it's probably aimed at children I think it would be great for both adults and children to read. I really enjoyed the idea of comparing emotions to the weather and seasons, and how it describes releasing your emotions in a physical way that related to nature (shout into the wind for example), overall it is a great way to help people visualize and understand their emotions and maybe find ways to try and regulate with them. The writing is very poetic and the art is beautiful, I do wish it had been longer but overall I really enjoyed it

This is so so beautiful. Comparing emotions to seasons to make them easier to understand was such a great way of explaining emotions to children and it was done in such a beautiful way.

I really hope that when it is published there’s beautiful illustrations to go along with it as i think that would take this book to a whole new level.

Absolutely beautiful. A wonderful way to express emotions and to help kids understand their emotions.

This was such a beautiful read. I'm not sure if it's the final format of the book or if there will be art added (I hope so!) but the words alone were enchanting and so lovely. I think this book seems more appropriate for older children, but could be read to a younger child as well, and would also be a beneficial read for adult audiences, even. This is a lovely reminder that it's natural and human and beautiful to feel everything we do. It teaches a lesson that we all need to be reminded of from time to time, and the words it uses to do so are so deeply touching.

This was a beautiful work that I really enjoyed. It was more advanced in the language than I was expecting, but I liked it. I think older children, teens, and parents will appreciate it.

I loved the relationship between her emotions, seasons, and nature. I think it will help people navigate big feelings and express them with maturity.

Very sweet book for children, using weather to help them understand their emotions. I think this would be helpful to share with the young people in your life.

This book was cute! I liked the concept a lot! There were parts that were difficult for me to understand. I wonder if the language could be shifted more for the target age. Still love the concept and it would be a great resource to help teach kids about emotions!

This is a very sweet story about emotions and the beauty of nature. This book has a wonderful message and the analogies are superb! Highly recommend.

I'm sad this was just text, because based on the cover illustration, I'd looove to see the end result and beautiful illustration to go with a sweet story.

"The Seasons of Me" by Bonnie Cantarutti is a delightful children's book that compares emotions to elements like fire, air, water, and earth. It's written from a kid's point of view and shows that feeling different emotions, even the tough ones like sadness and anger, is totally normal. It's a fun and insightful read for kids and adults alike!
