Like The Rabbit Listened and The Color Monster, this bighearted, stunningly illustrated book helps children to acknowledge and confront their most difficult emotions.

After a girl's best friend moves away, she starts seeing two creatures everywhere she goes- a gray crocodile who weeps for hours, and a loud crocodile who breaks things and creates all kinds of chaos. Nobody else seems to see them, though, and when they even follow her to her family's beach vacation, the girl decides she needs to talk to them. It turns out she has a lot in common with both of these creatures- She has been feeling sad and angry too.

Reviews for Crocodiles Everywhere

""Meza’s straightforward, compassionate text is firmly rooted in children’s natural—at times seemingly irrational—emotions. Created with paper, colored pencil, and Photoshop, her naive, earth-toned illustrations make use of geometric shapes, complementing the story well. An empathetic tale, ideal for helping little ones ride out the storm of turbulent emotions."" —Kirkus
