(3) PS Illustrated by Chris Raschka. Bold, expressionistic watercolors capture the misery of a child overtaken by negative emotions. The "bad mood" is depicted as a monster that eventually dissolves into a swirl of colors when the child is able to "just let those feelings be / just let them pass." Raschka's visualization of anger and frustration, all thick black outlines and inchoate shapes, is extremely effective.
