Berta is tidy, never throws tantrums, and never cries. Whenever she feels overwhelmed, she just opens one of her boxes of emotions and shuts in her tears, fear, and anger. But what would happen if one day she lost control? Berta discovers that emotions should be felt and not locked up. Berta's Boxes is a wonderful story about dealing with emotions and learning to understand and express your feelings.
A Berta le gusta tener todo ordenado, incluso sus emociones. Si un día siente rabia o demasiada tristeza, abre sus cajas de colores y mete las emociones dentro. Pero un día Berta pierde el control? Porque, ¿podemos encerrar las emociones en cajas?
Berta es la niña perfecta. ¿Cómo lo hace? Es muy fácil, si se pone nerviosa abre la caja del enfado y grita allí. Pero, ¿se pueden guardar las emociones en cajas?

A too well-behaved little girl who boxes up her emotions finds her tipping point and creates a marvelous monster after an especially hard day.
I love the bright illustrations. Every page is sparking with color. Berta’s facial expressions are very emotive and I like the design of the scenes. –
