The Color Monster: a story about emotions

Help children unpack their feelings with color in this international bestseller that helps young readers identify emotions and feel more in control. The narrative of The Color Monster guides children to find vocabulary for the different emotions they experience – from sadness, to fear, to anger. The monster is relatable, as many children struggle to identify how they feel at any given moment. The illustrations are approachably simple with collage-style elements and shading so they have a pop-up book quality. Children will be able to draw their own color monsters after reading!

I’m Happy-Sad Today

Happy, and also sad. Excited, but nervous too. Feeling friendly, with a little shyness mixed in. Mixed feelings are natural, but they can be confusing. There are different kinds of happy – the quiet kind and the noisy, giggly, jump and run kind. And there are conflicting feelings, like proud and jealous, frustrated and determined. With gentle messaging and charming illustrations, a little girl talks about her many-layered feelings, ultimately concluding, When I have more than one feeling inside me, I don’t have to choose just one. I know that all my feelings are okay at the same time. A special section for adults presents ideas for helping children explore their emotions, build a vocabulary of feeling words, know what to do if they feel overwhelmed, and more.
