Olive All at Once

Olive feels conflicting emotions. As she sorts through her feelings, she learns it's OK to feel lots of ways-all at once. In this illustrated picture book, Olive experiences contradictory emotions. The first day of school is exciting but also scary. When she attends a friend's birthday party, she is both delighted for him but also disappointed that the presents aren't for her. And when she thinks about her little sister, she's both glad and mad-for lots of reasons!In Olive All at Once, our title character helps young readers explore the sometimes-contradictory ways they feel about various events in their lives, both big and small. Building social-emotional intelligence in children helps them to allow all of their emotions to coexist inside them. It's part of being human to feel many different ways-all at the same time-and it's totally OK.
