“Feelings You Don’t Have Words For” is Karepango’s very first book — a collection of 130+ full-color comics and illustrations about all the feelings that can be a little hard to explain.
The quiet ones. The complicated ones. The really silly ones. The ones that make you want to disappear for a little while, and the ones that remind you how nice it is to be here.
The artists of Karepango spent the past year putting so much of themselves nto these pages alongside @simonandschuster and @andrewsmcmeel. Yobi, Snarp, Kit, and the rest of Karepango's little imaginary friends are all here, trying to make sense of being human right alongside you. 🌱
A huge part of why Karepango exists is because sometimes we feel something long before we know how to say it. They wanted to make a book you could open anywhere and maybe stumble across a comic that makes you think, “oh. me too.”
⭐️ every book also comes with 2 sheets of Karepango stickers, inspired by some of the editing team’s favorite comics from the book. ⭐️
Whether you read it cover to cover, keep it on your nightstand, give it to someone you love, or flip through it whenever you need a tiny bit of company — we hope there’s something inside these pages that makes the world feel a little less lonely.
Thank you for letting our imaginary friends grow up with you. :’)
