<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>""How are you feeling?" It's a difficult question to answer, let alone capture in visual form. But Manjit Thapp, popular Instagram artist and illustrator of The Little Book of Feminist Saints, does just that with touching honesty, exploring the depth, variety, and manifestation of the emotions that we all share, but often struggle to articulate. With lyrical, poetic prose and stunning graphic art, this book excavates what lies beneath that all too-common response and emboldens us to celebrate, and truly feel, our feelings. Thapp carries us along as she experiences various emotions throughout the year, working her way through the six seasons of the Indian calendar. From the spark of possibility and jolt of creativity in High Summer to the desolation and numbness of Winter, Thapp implores us to consider the seasons of our own emotional journeys and the moods that can change as quickly as the weather, allowing us to take stock and take comfort"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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.</b> <p/><b>"<i>Feelings</i> is a visual and emotional treat, full of gorgeous artwork and soothing insight."--Mari Andrew, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Am I There Yet?</i> </b> <p/>Enter Manjit Thapp's <i>Feelings, </i> 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.

It's a visually interesting and creative way of expressing how we as humans are really just sophisticated plants who need water, sunshine, and good soil to thrive."<b>--<i>Book Riot</i></b> <p/>"<i>Feelings </i>makes me feel unoriginal in the best way. It reminds me that despite the specific experience of my individual humanity, there's a shared one too, with the people around me, but also with the Earth. It's a colorful road map of how we all cycle through the seasons around us and inside us, a constant oscillation between rain and sun and rage and relief. I'd give this book to anyone and would be confident they would find themselves somewhere inside it."<b>--Olivia Gatwood, author of <i>Life of the Party</i></b> <p/> "A beautifully illustrated, evocative look inside the emotions that live and take root inside us. <i>Feelings</i> is simply gorgeous--lush with Thapp's signature color palettes and evocatively profound, it fills the reader with a longing to climb inside each page and stay awhile. This book is a necessary reminder that the entire spectrum of emotion serves purpose, that each feeling is valuable, and, most important, that we are not alone."<b>--Meera Lee Patel, bestselling author of <i>Start Where You Are</i>, <i>My Friend Fear</i>, and <i>Create Your Own Calm</i></b> <p/> "<i>Feelings</i> filled me with a deep sense of nostalgia, warmth, and comfort.
