"What Feelings Do When No One's Looking provides an intimate look at what our emotions are doing when we aren't experiencing them . . . The art stands out for me . . . its soothing grays calm the psyche and invite the observer to be at peace with each emotion, regardless of positive or negative connotation. Some children's picture books leave a discernible feeling of serenity; this was one of those."
