NOT FOR KIDS but SOOOO for adults!
A unique picture book experience. There's no book like this one.
"Imagine Ted Lasso writing a picture book for the team but in the voice of Roy Kent. This book is hilarious and thoughtful and swearful!" - Multi-Eisner Winner Gene Ha
Through humor, relatability, and a healthy dose of profanity, Shut Up and Feel transcends the boundaries of conventional picture books. This book is for all of us adults. From the award-winning duo of bestselling children's books, A Thousand NO's and Do You Speak Fish? comes an unapologetic ode to the complexities of the human experience, guaranteed to resonate with anyone who feels the messiness of emotions.
"This entertaining, spirited work promotes self-improvement in a highly amusing and quirky way. The engaging story shows how people from around the world and all walks of life endure similar problems and may need a helping hand. Or, if the situation calls for it, an upraised middle finger." - Kirkus Reviews
Truly a one-of-a-kind adult picture book for all of us.
Publishers Weekly Booklife Review
"Shut Up and Feel is both scathing and inspirational, an expletive-ridden and often raunchy picture book specifically for grown-ups that gives them the chance to enjoy Corchin’s straight-talking life guidance at a pointedly adult level."
"Corchin’s motivational rhetoric is both comforting, amusingly militant, and aggressively profane, like a friend coming to the rescue in the face of a bully—but rather here the bully is the social pressure to acquiesce to the norm of repression.”
"Adults seeking humorous validation for their feelings will find that and more in Shut Up and Feel."
"Every one of [Dougherty's] characters demonstrate the liberating power of experiencing emotion uninhibited."
Kirkus Review
"Corchin’s words and Dougherty’s illustrations complement each other throughout this rib-tickling work."
'The engaging story shows how people from around the world and all walks of life endure similar problems and may need a helping hand. Or, if the situation calls for it, an upraised middle finger."
"Dougherty’s multihued art is impeccable, teeming with bold lines, sharp colors, and rich character and background details."
"The [characters] prove as colorful as the backdrops; the diverse cast features different races, gender identifications, and body shapes."
"So much of what [the author] urges readers to do are healthy coping mechanisms that harm no one."
