What does joy feel like? What is love like? What can you do when you feel really angry?

The Little Book of Emotions, based on Mauri Kunnas's book of the same name, is a performance full of big emotions.

Together with Grandpa Mäkinen, you will learn to recognize different emotions and discover that all feelings are welcome. Join this fun, music-filled performance and let yourself be swept away by a world of emotions!

The Little Book of Emotions is a sequel to Teatteri Konna's beloved and highly acclaimed production The Little Book of Fears, which has been touring Finland since 2024.

The Little Book of Emotions is available for booking at day-care centres, libraries, children's events and theatres across Finland from October 2026 onwards.

The open art workshop draws inspiration from the colourful characters, playful atmosphere, and wide range of emotions found in Mauri Kunnas’s books. Participants are invited to design and create their own emotion character. What kind of character emerges when joy, excitement, shyness, or even anger is transformed into colour, shape, and personality?

The open art workshop is open on Thursday, 15 October 2026, from 12:00 to 15:00. This drop-in workshop allows visitors to participate at their own pace and according to their own schedule. The workshop is intended for participants of all ages. Children under the age of 10 must attend with an adult. No Finnish language skills are required to take part in the event.
