About the Book: The story follows a character named Valle who initially tries to keep her feelings contained in a box. The book uses vibrant imagery to represent her emotions: red balloons for happiness, grey rainclouds for sadness, and a wild storm for jealousy or anger. Believing her emotions are “out of control,” Valle buries them in the garden. The story explores what happens when her Nanny comes to visit, ultimately serving as a heartfelt way to kickstart conversations with young children about naming, knowing, and managing emotions, drawing on Humes’s experience as a mother and mental health advocate
