A child’s many sides, seen through animals

A young boy uses animal comparisons to describe contrasting qualities: loud like a lion, quiet like a clam, tough like a rhino, and gentle like a lamb. The changing animal expressions give the book a way to explore different feelings and aspects of self-understanding. Its central idea is that a person can hold many qualities at once, and that feelings deserve acceptance. This edition features remastered illustrations by Don Wood.
