Right now, I am sad, but I will soon be happy again. This colorful picture book is one of the best to help young children learn about emotions and how to deal with them. The author uses witty rhymes to explain feelings in a way that is easy to understand. This book explains the many different and complex emotions we feel and enables children to relate to and understand that emotions are okay. It covers a wide range of emotions, including silly, scared, disappointed, happy, sad, angry, thankful, frustrated, shy, bored, excited, jealous and proud. In addition to the great pictures, this book gives children a handle on some very useful vocabulary. In the end, children will be able to better understand and communicate their feelings and emotions with others.Jessica, 1st grade teacher
Oh, Jessica, thanks for your comment regarding Janan Cain's wonderful book. Did you know we also provide a how-to-draw teaching plan that complements the book? See www.parentingpress.com and select "teachers" from the top menu. This will lead you to "classroom activities." The teaching plan is equally good for home schooling and youth groups, or library story hours.
