A fish who has lost his companion moves through the many feelings that come with saying goodbye. Todd Parr's gentle, simple approach makes it ideal for very young kids facing loss.
A boy learns mistakes are part of learning anything. A great confidence builder for kids who hate getting it wrong.
A group of kids hits frustration and disagreement while working on something together, then talks it through. Great for showing how big feelings can be shared and worked out as a team.
Another punny Food Group story, this time about bragging and why a little humility goes a long way.
A boy feels everything in a very big way and tries to hide it, until he learns that his feelings are worth sharing. Reassuring for sensitive kids who feel things deeply.
Henry gets so mad when Ella won't share, and Grandpa and some animal friends teach him belly breathing and counting to ten. Calm down tools kids actually use.
Color Monster wakes up with all his feelings jumbled together, and a little girl helps him sort them by color. A simple, brilliant first book for naming emotions with preschoolers.
Grandpa has Henry and Ella fill a pickle jar with kind acts, and they find out kindness feels good all on its own. So easy to start a kindness jar at home after.
Todd Parr's bright, silly pictures show all the ways kids can feel, from grumpy to brave. A cheerful, reassuring first look at emotions for toddlers.
