Cornelia Maude Spelman was a therapist working with children and families before turning full-time to writing and art. She is the author of eleven picture books for children including The Way I Feel series which aims to help children recognise and manage their emotions, relate successfully to others, and cope with difficult situations. She is also the author of a memoir, Missing, about the emotional legacies in her family. Cornelia Maude Spelman remembers a book she loved as a child that taught her about seeing things from different perspectives. The books illustrations showed a cow from the point of view of other farm animals who were of different sizes and heights, and stood at shorter or longer distances from the cow. Each animal's image was unique. The idea of perspectives has interested her ever since. A mother and grandmother, Cornelia lives outside of Chicago, Illinois.
"an altogether comforting package."
*Kirkus Reviews*
"This attractive title has simple rhyming text and well-matched
illustrations featuring a range of places people can be, even if
they can’t be seen....The playful images, with a diverse set of
wide-eyed characters including a child in a wheelchair running a
marathon, are what really draw in readers.....The combination of
repetitive, easy words and constructive illustrations make it
favorable for new readers as well..... this book provides
opportunities for thoughtful discussion."
