WHEN THINGS AREN’T GOING RIGHT, GO LEFT, by Marc Colagiovanni and Peter H. Reynolds, Orchard Books, March 7, 2023, Hardcover, $18.99 (ages 4-8)
When Things Aren’t Going Right, Go Left, by Marc Colagiovanni and Peter H. Reynolds, encourages readers to let go of their burdens.
“One day for no particular reason, nothing was going right. Absolutely positively, nothing was going right. So, I decided to go left…”
When Things Aren’t Going Right, Go Left is the first of two new picture books created in collaboration with author Marc Colagiovanni and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds.
From its bold cover to its graphic endpapers, this new picture book will catch readers’ attention from beginning to end. Reynold’s deceptively simple illustrations are full of emotion and wit. They pair perfectly with Colagiovanni’s inspirational words.
When Things Aren’t Going Right, Go Left celebrates emotional intelligence, helping kids visualize concepts and working through feelings. It’s a lovely picture book that would work well in a classroom or as a gift.
