Evaluation comments:
“Educational and fun to read.”
“This board book pairs colors with a feeling and describes the feeling. Each page states a feeling, how the body feels and that it is okay to feel that way.”
“I like that the back of the book has strategies for adults to talk to toddlers about feelings.”
“The book is educational and does a nice job combining colors and feeling and enhancing social emotional skills.”
“I like that the strategies include a section about modeling the name of your own feelings and sharing how it feels in your body. Many times, adults do not share their feelings or hide them, and it is okay to share them so that the child understands feelings and what is happening in their bodies.”
“Great for preschool teachers and families.”
