Exploring twenty-six Chinese characters describing emotions, Young uses the heart as metaphor for human behavior (joy is "a happy heart"; laziness is "an idle heart"), then creates ideograms and collage constructions for each concept. This small gift book edition seems an acknowledgment that adults may be the book's best audience.
