How do you feel? Ollie the octopus feels fine, with some help from his friend, Stella the starfish.

In "Ollie Feels Fine," by Toni Yuly, Ollie the octopus is swamped by a big wave, bumped by a shark, and loses his hat, He experiences the gamut of emotions, from surprise and anger to happiness. Babies will love Ollie's colorful hat, and how Ollie's skin color changes to match each emotion he experiences. Stella shows Ollie, and the reader, that emotions are okay and feelings are normal.

The artwork is eye-catching and will appeal to infants and toddlers. Ollie's story is simple and effective. It's okay to not be okay all the time and to feel sad or mad.

Recommended.

I received an ARC from Sasquatch Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ollie Feels Fine is a cute story by Toni Yuli about an octopus that is having a hard day and has to figure out his feelings. This story is a great way to introduce emotions to young children! I loved the colorful artwork and Ollie was adorable!

I’m not sure if this will be a board book, but it definitely should be!

This book witnesses Ollie the Octopus experience a Miriam of emotions. His friend Stella the Starfish helps him realize that it is ok to feel different emotions and that it is ok to not be ok. Powerful message for youngsters.
