Is iomaí uair a bhíonn mothúcháin an duine measctha suas, go háirithe agus tú ag fás aníos agus ag duli dtaithí ar eispéiris úra achan lá. Mar sin bhíonn saol an arrachta sa phictiúrleabahr spraúil seo. Ach le cuidiú ó chara, foghlaimíonn an t-arracht go bhfuil dath faoi leith ag na mothúcháin uilig agus déanann sé sin níos fusa é, iad a roinnt óna gcéile.

Beidh an scéilín seo ina acmhain do pháistí dul i ngleic le trup an tsaol. Beidh comhbhá acu don phríomhcharachtar agus an méid sin le léimh óna aghaidh. Cuireann na léaráidí meáin mheasctha go mór leis an scéal mar tugann siad léargas dúinn cé chomh domhain, fairsing agus casta atá an intinn.

 Colour Monster never goes into why he is feeling a certain emotion, allowing space for readers to attach personal meaning to their own emotions and feelings. It also shows kids it is okay to cry when you feel sad, and how sometimes naming a feeling and separating it from another feeling is enough. Llenas’s use of watercolour, pastels, and collage on a variety of styles of papers and cardboard has a three-dimensional aspect, enveloping readers into each world of feeling. The book’s open ending shows Colour Monster experiencing a new feeling, allowing for extrapolation and further conversations.
