Review
"Offsetting drama with understatement and humor, Greig and Sardà thus carry readers through a mood and out the other side... An artful, elegant metaphor for mood." -- Kirkus Reviews
"The lesson about managing one’s emotions edifies, while Sardà’s illustrations lift the spirits." -- Publishers Weekly
"Imaginative, whimsically illustrated." -- Booklist, online exclusive
"The premise—some small negative event snowballing into the worst day ever—will be relatable to lots of children, and the story’s message is valuable: sometimes working yourself up into a bad mood really isn’t worth it." -- BCCB

5.0 out of 5 stars A Journey Through Emotions and Renewal 🌬️
In "Sweep" by Louise Greig, readers are taken on a poignant journey alongside Ed, a young boy grappling with the tumultuous emotions that accompany life's ups and downs.From the moment the first leaf hits Ed in the face, signaling the start of a bad mood, to his furious determination to sweep away his troubles, readers witness Ed's emotional rollercoaster firsthand. As his bad mood grows darker and more consuming, Ed finds himself overwhelmed by a pile of leaves that symbolizes his inner turmoil.But just as quickly as the storm of emotions appears, it is whisked away by a gust of wind, leaving behind a sense of clarity and renewal. Through an unexpected gift—a kite—Ed learns to look up and appreciate the beauty around him, finding solace in the midst of chaos.Louise Greig's simple yet powerful words, paired with the stunning illustrations of a town landscape filled with intricate details, create a perfect harmony that brings Ed's journey to life. Together, author and illustrator weave a tale that resonates with readers of all ages, reminding us that while bad moods are inevitable, we have the power to choose how we react to them. 🌿📖🌈
5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet book with a good message
A sweet book about how a bad mood can grow out of control and hurt or affect so many other people. But we can choose to stop and look up and turn our bad mood into a good mood. The pictures are lovely and they captivated my kids with lots to look at and new things to point out each time we read it. Did you notice that it’s sweeping up bigger and bigger items? Do you see the dog and cat? There are the little old ladies drinking tea. Did you see the kites the people were flying?
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful children’s book
We borrowed this book from our local library and loved it so much that we had to add it to our home collection. It’s a great message and beautifully written and illustrated.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun concept and great message
A great book for our 4-year-old to consider how emotions can be coped with and we have choices with how we manage our reactions to things. Easy to read and the illustrations are great.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations, storyline so-so
I will say the illustrations roped me in! The book itself is a bit up and down and it may be better suited for older children.
5.0 out of 5 stars This book is about big feelings
The media could not be loaded. If your little has big feelings then this is the book for you. It tells the story how one small thing can get bigger and bigger and how it’s just best to deal with it first before it gets big.
5.0 out of 5 stars THE Book to Talk About Big Feelings...
Don’t be deceived by thinking this amazing book is just one for fall! Yes, the illustrations are beautiful and the leaves on the cover make you want to jump in one big leaf pile but it’s so much more than that! This is THE perfect book for talking about all those big feelings that just seem to get out of control and take over.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book
Great story and illustrations. Has a great message about how we can change our moods.
Wonderful Picture Book
Sweep is one of those gorgeous books that surprises you! I saw the cover of Sweep in a list of fall books on Instagram. There was no description and I ordered it based solely on the cover. I was surprised to discover that Sweep is actually a book about getting swept up in a bad mood and letting it carry us away. This makes me love it even more! The illustrations are gorgeous and the message inside is conveyed with warmth and humour. Highly recommend!
Good product
I bought a paperback. Very happy with my purchase. The story isn't amazing but it has good ilustration and overall I would recommend it.
Wonderful story
I think this lovely book is not only for the little ones, but also for the adults. Love the story and the illustrution is very beautiful.
表紙がキラキラ加工でかわいいです⭐︎
見ているだけでワクワクするような色づかい、生き生きとしたキャラクター、ダイナミックに描かれたストーリー展開が魅力的な絵本です。英語も平易で読みやすく、文章も強調したい部分の文字が大きくなったり、流れるように印字されていたりタイポグラフィも楽しめます。
Relatable story of being in a huff!
Ed is in a bad mood; a mood like a raging storm which just will not pass, and his bad mood is sweeping everyone and everything along with it. He knows storming on is probably not the best course of action, but his bad mood convinces him to keep going, making it bigger and bigger. At points, he wants to stop, but then the whole storm would have been a wasted effort, so he persists.As Ed storms, he sweeps along everything and everyone in his way. Julia Sarda's illustrations represent this as a pile of leaves which grows and grows, trapping bicycles, buses, and trees, and eventually partially concealing buildings. All the while, Ed misses the joy around him. In the background there are balloons, kites, and a fairground, and in the pile of leaves he creates, people ski, cycle, chat, and frolic. But Ed is oblivious.When finally, the storm blows over, everything looks different and Ed is relieved. The illustrations do suggest there are a few outstanding consequences as there is now a car on a roof and a bicycle as a weather vane, but for the most part, life is back to normal.This is a very relatable story of determinedly staying annoyed when we know we should move on, and how this disadvantages us and others and affects the way we see the world. It may be helpful in thinking with children about times they bear a grudge when they should let go, and generating alternative solutions and ways of coping.
