A child finds his way through overwhelming feelings

A request to clean his room becomes a disorienting experience for a young boy, as fear, sadness, shame, confusion, and anger reshape his home into a maze with lurking monsters. His father helps him use his five senses to navigate the moment. The picture book explores anxiety and the role of care and support in finding a path forward. Its text is organized as a pantoum, a cyclical poetic form, giving the story a structure that echoes its inward journey.

Book overview

In this emotionally impactful pantoum picture book from Daniel Nayeri and Matt Rockefeller, a young boy's father helps him navigate his larger-than-life feelings by engaging his five senses.

A fury of feelings.

A boy lost in hurt.

A father always there for him.

When a young boy is asked to clean his room, fear, sadness, shame, confusion, and anger overwhelm him, transforming his house into an unfamiliar maze where monsters lurk. To find his way, he'll need to engage his five senses. Thankfully, his father is there to guide him.

Beautifully illustrated and masterfully written as a cyclical poetic form called a pantoum, Drawn Inward explores the complexities of anxiety and how--through the love and support of those around us--we can find the strength to move forward with hope, clarity, and peace.
