I am a teacher and read the book to my Virtual class as a Social Emotional Lesson. The kids were just mesmerized. They sat so quiet and when asked what they thought they expressed how they related to the book. The book is well written, kids friendly, and full of great rhymes, which as a teacher anytime we can get in rhymes is wonderful. Added bonus there are pages at the end for kids to color in how they are feeling. I would encourage every parent, grandparent and teacher to read this book. Thank you Andrea Coates for writing a book to support kids emotions.

Phenomenal book for children who have experienced any level of trauma! This book provides an excellent means of explaining to children that they are not alone, that negative feelings can be normal, and provides positive ways to deal with them. Great for young readers or parents reading to young children and beautifully illustrated.

Love it! So happy I added this book to my daughter’s library! It is beautifully written and the illustrations are gorgeous.! A great tool to use when approaching a very important topic with children.
Kara
Perfect for children and caregivers. This truly is a sweet and gentle story that deals with times when children may not quite know what to do with feelings of sadness or stress with gorgeous and engaging illustrations that make you want to turn the page! It also comes with great ideas for children and their caregivers to create a positive mindset. Good for Pre-K through elementary age children!
