A stunning illustrated journey through one young woman’s year of feelings—from the saturated highs of early summer to the gray isolation of late winter.
 
“Feelings is a visual and emotional treat, full of gorgeous artwork and soothing insight.”—Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author of Am I There Yet? 

Enter Manjit Thapp’s Feelings, where you’ll find moods that change as quickly as the weather; the different shades of anxiety and hope that each new season brings; and the stages of joy and pain that fuel our growth. From the spark of possibility and jolt of creativity in High Summer, to the need for release from anxiety and pressure during Monsoon, to the desolation and numbness of Winter, Feelings implores us to consider the seasons of our own emotional journeys.

Articulating and validating the range of feelings we all experience, this is a book that allows us to feel connected and comforted by the experiences that make us human.
A Note From the Author

The woman you'll meet in these pages is not an exact mirror of myself, but she represents many important parts of me. Above all, I strove to capture the emotional authenticity of my seasonal experiences with anxiety. Perhaps you'll see yourself in her too. 

The book's structure is inspired by the six-season calendar used by some countries in South Asia, which includes a monsoon season and, depending on the region, splits either autumn or winter into two.
