Feelings Are Like Farts

K-Gr 4–“Have you ever noticed? Feelings are a lot like farts.” Well, then. Clinical psychologist Willard and artist/educator Wosiski reveal the endless similarities feelings and farts share. Versatile veteran Campbell narrates thoughtfully, never judgmentally, and with just a hint of humor because “We all have them. They can linger, but they usually don’t last too long.” Sometimes they’re embarrassing: “You might wish they were private, but they don’t always come out that way.” Sometimes unpredictable: “They might be fast and fiery, other times loud and long.” Stifling isn’t recommended: “It’s not so healthy to hold them in too long. You usually feel better if you just let them out.” Protecting yourself is: “If yours or someone else’s are too overwhelming, you might want to take some space until they clear up.”
