"PreS-Gr 2–Louie is a dragon who breathes colorful emotions. He picks berries but gets upset when squirrels scatter the berries. Louie breathes deeply and moves to a pond to calm down. He finds a shiny rock at the bottom of the pond, but it is stuck under a heavy rock, which makes Louie sad. He sees a bright light in the forest and feels amazed to realize it is fireflies! He feels playful while playing ball with his friend Rosie. When the wind rolls the ball into a dark cave, they feel afraid. Louie bravely retrieves the ball and feels triumphant. Louie realizes that all of them have their own rainbow of emotions. Shein creatively switches the classic dragon’s breath and fire to a colorful emotional breath. She denotes colorful emotion combinations: happy yellow, orange excitement, mad red, sad blue, amazed purple, calm green, playful pink, fear gray, and triumphant gold. Louie’s friends Freddie, Flicker, and Rosie help Louie through emotional highs and lows. Throughout Louie’s adventurous day we see how his emotions are ¬affected by different experiences. The author presents not only the feeling but also ¬Louie’s reasoning behind each one, and even an example of emotional self-regulation. ¬Salabie’s vivid and colorful illustrations depict Louie and his friends in a charming cartoony style. The illustrations are in sync with the text and clearly demonstrate ¬Louie’s emotion-filled day. VERDICT This vibrant and didactic picture book introduces readers to emotions and managing big feelings; a great addition to Spanish-language SEL sections." —Nicole Gaudier Alemañy, School Library Journal

Her drawings are characterized by clean line work and vibrant palettes. “I'm an island girl at heart so I draw a lot of inspiration from the ocean, fish, and tropical flora,” she says. She is also inspired by fairytales, folklore, and nursery rhymes because she read so many of them as a child who “practically lived at the library.”
