Critics Review
I loved the way the book acknowledges both the strengths emotions can bring and the ways they can sometimes feel overwhelming for children too. The repeated reminder to “remember my breath and my words” offers a practical strategy for emotional regulation throughout the story. Books about feelings can sometimes lean towards the didactic, but children can’t develop emotional vocabulary if they aren’t exposed to the language of emotions in meaningful and accessible ways. Stories like this help give children the words to better recognise, express and manage their feelings while also opening important conversations with the adults who care for them. * lovefourreading via instagram *
