Review: The Vibes Book

By
The Vibes Book By Hannah Clarke Boulder, CO: Bala Kids, and imprint of Shambhala Publications, Inc., 2023. Picture Book.  Vibes are "magical, invisible feelings and thoughts" that can pass from person to person. Through this book, you watch a child send and receive good vibes. It talks about how you can send vibes to anyone, even if you're not very close to them. The book warns to try to avoid sending bad vibes, because they'll make people feel sad. However, when you send good vibes, that happiness comes right back to you. Because you can't see vibes, it can be hard for children to understand the concept. This book beautifully explains what vibes are through words and pictures. I adored the illustrations and how they show that every person and mood gives off different kinds of energy. It's a great visual and important reminder that the energy we give out comes back to us.
