Walter Was Worried

Author: Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Illustrator: Laura Vaccaro Seeger



Comments:
Seeger defines emotions through her engaging illustrations as well as the formatting of the text to mirror the connotation of each feeling word. Known for her Hidden Alphabet, Seeger has also incorporated letters into her illustrations and strengthens the connection between text and illustration. Readers can enter the story by showing their own "worried" or "delighted" faces. The form of this book can also serve as a template for shared writing in the classroom.
