This book was super creative and well executed!! Berta's Boxes teaches children that they shouldn't hide their feelings away in order to be a "better child" for their parents, by way of the metaphor of "boxing up" your feelings. The message of this book was great, and one I don't see a lot of children's picture books talk about. Even as an adult I'm definitely guilty of hiding away my feelings in order to keep everybody around me happy, which is a super bad habit, and one I definitely don't want any child replicating. The illustrations in this book were so cute, and the overall message and execution were wonderful! Thank you for the ARC!
