    This book "Everyone" talks about not only yourself but also everyone has emotions and feelings in our lives. Also, these emotions and feelings that you have may not always be positive. However, it is normal and okay for us to have negative emotions because we will be able to turn the dark to happiness. We should know that there are always some people who would like to listen to our feelings and share their feelings with us. We should know that we are not alone and everyone experiences similar feelings as you do. 

    I would highly recommend this book for elementary kids to read for their social studies class. First, the author uses simple words which are clear and appropriate for kids to read so that students can easily understand the main idea that the author is trying to express. Also, the paintings in this book are very pretty and wonderful to look at. The author drew all the scenes from the view of a little boy. In this case, when kids are reading it, they will be drawn into the story. The pictures are closely related to the content, which helps kids understand better as well. At the same time, the pictures that the author drew are very creative and interesting, which can catch kids' attention and interests more easily. Furthermore, the content is highly matched with social studies class from preschool to first grade. Students can learn self-acceptance and understand others in the community better. They can also get to know and understand individuals' emotions and feelings better. It is a must-read book for kids for 4 to 6 years old to read. Teachers should definitely buy one for students to read at school, and parents should also buy one for your children to read at home!
