Summary:

Eliza is a sensitive young girl who feels the world more deeply than most. One rainy afternoon, she discovers a forgotten wooden chest in her grandmother's attic. Inside are dozens of tiny glass jars—each glowing with its own light and labelled with a single emotion: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Wonder, Anger, Hope.

As she opens each jar, Eliza is drawn into a magical journey of emotional discovery. Each feeling reveals itself through a sound, a memory, or a quiet message. Slowly, she learns that no emotion is bad or wrong—they all have meaning, and they all belong. The more she listens, the more she understands. And soon... others begin to listen too.

The Chest Full of Feelings is a heartwarming, imaginative story that helps children make sense of their emotional world in a safe and nurturing way. It invites reflection without preaching and wonder without overwhelm.
