From the number one New York Times bestselling team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell, authors of I’m Gonna Like Me and Where Do Balloons Go?, Today I Feel Silly helps children be mindful and appreciate their shifting moods.

Jamie Lee Curtis’s zany and touching verse, paired with Laura Cornell’s whimsical and original illustrations, helps kids explore, identify, and, even have fun with their ever-changing moods.

Silly, cranky, excited, or sad—everyone has moods that can change every day. And that’s okay! Follow the boisterous, bouncing protagonist as she explores her moods and how they change from daily.

 

Jamie Lee Curtis has starred in many movies, but she says that the children’s books she has written mean more to her than any of her films. She and artist Laura Cornell have prior to now collaborated on two bestselling books: Tell Me Again About the Night I Was once Born and When I Was once Little: A Four-Year-Old’s Memoir of Her Youth. This time, we follow a little girl with curly red hair through 13 different moods, beginning with silly: “Today I feel silly. / Mom says it is the heat. I put rouge on the cat / and gloves on my feet.” Of course, silly soon turns to grumpy and mean… to excited… to puzzled, and so forth. Recognizing one’s own mood swings is a developmental milestone, one that some adults haven’t yet mastered! Cornell’s watercolor illustrations–wildly expressive and energetic–effectively capture the volatility of our redheaded star. Whether she is happy or mad or dancing a solo in jazz, she is all the time “full of pizzazz,” and this book is, too. A clever mood wheel on the last page allows young readers to change the little girl’s expression–both her eyes and mouth. This is silly fun with a smart lesson for children from ages 4 to 8. –Marcie Bovetz
