Powerful and lyrically intense. An ABC of feelings with a strong visual identity that seeks out for more complex relationships between word and image. Each image conveys a strong emotional presence and the adjectives chosen to represent each letter – Audacious, Beloved, Curious – are often described through a visual metaphor, avoiding traditionally playful approaches to this kind of picture book.
In the end, we can all play: How are you feeling today? From A to Z.
All the artwork is handmade in watercolour paper with ink and watercolour washes.

The jury said: "Avoiding cliché, this beautiful and unusual alphabet book uses whimsy, wit, and metaphor in unexpected, charming illustrations for each letter. Illustrating emotions instead of objects or actions, HOJE SINTO-ME... is a wonderful dictionary of feelings."
