AlbakiReads Editorial

A poem about changing feelings and staying yourself

Wind, sun, and sea offer images for a child’s shifting moods in this picture-book poem. Its central reassurance is that feelings can change from day to day without changing who you are, and that no feeling needs to be sorted into “good” or “bad.” The book pairs that emotional acceptance with imaginative play; endnotes add poetry and writing exercises for exploring feelings further. Together, the poem and activities give the subject both a reflective and a hands-on dimension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring how feelings change
  • Families and educators looking for a book about naming and accepting emotions
  • Young children interested in poetry and creative writing activities

★"By following one expressive girl through wonderfully evocative art, this story celebrates both imaginative play and openness to all kinds of emotions" - Booklist, starred review

A calming reminder that you can feel a different way each day -- and that's ok!

And just like the wind, or the sun or the sea,
On some days I'm some ways, but all days, I'm me.

Some days you may feel like a cyclone, a whirl, dizzy, giddy, wild. Other days, you're a whisper, a breeze, gentle mellow, mild. You're not the same each day, and Some Days I'm the Wind is here to say that's ok! In this calming poem, reassuring phrases encourage readers to meet themselves as they are and explore all sides of their emotions and personalities.

  • Teaches kids there are no "good" or "bad" feelings. All feelings are feelings!
  • A perfect companion read to Whatever Comes Tomorrow
  • Endnotes provide further exercises to explore feelings through poetry and writing
