Goes through lots of different emotions and talks about them using poetry
Great way to introduce poetry to kids while also discussing emotions

This book was awarded: First Place for Publishers Association of the West's 18th Annual Western U.S. Book Design

This is a cute book which helps children identify their emotions. With colorful images that match the word connotating the emotion, I recommend this book to parents, especially those children who have a difficult time controlling their emotions. The simpliciting might help children laugh out loud at the image depicting the emotion, and therefore allow the child not feel ovewhelmed when they are angry, sad, silly, excited, jealous, proud, disappointed, scared, happy, thankful, shy, or bored.
