Rajiv's Starry Feelings cover

“A beautiful story that gently helps children understand and navigate a universe of feelings.” — Joseph Coelho, Children's Laureate 2022-2024

“Did you know that constellations are ancient maps that help explorers find their way?”

Rajiv has feelings for everything. He can feel confident. He can feel happy. He can feel silly. But today, he feels angry and he doesn’t know why. With the help of his father, he sets out on a journey to make sense of his feelings. It is a journey that will take him to a park, then up into the branches of a tree, and from there all the way to the stars . . .

Beautifully told and stunningly illustrated, this extraordinary story will help children everywhere explore the complex emotions we all feel but cannot always name.

“This is an inspiring story that links astral wonders to everyday emotions. With swirls of color, the dazzling illustrations create a sense of wonder that fires up the imagination.” — Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

This is storytelling at its finest — a book that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on readers of all ages." — Desi Blitz
