With playful rhymes and whimsical illustrations, Move Your Mood! encourages kids to twist, wiggle, hop, and shake their way into a better mood.
For many adults, exercise is an effective way to elevate mood while keeping the body healthy. New research suggests the physical activity can help children feel better, too! Move Your Mood invites kids and adults to twist, wiggle, shake, hop…and smile! Reading this book with your child is an active and fun way to teach your child about emotions, and introduce the idea that moving our bodies affects the way we feel inside. Ready to start feeling better? Move and groove your way into a better mood!
Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with suggestions for how to use the book with your child and additional ideas for teaching your child about emotions.
The authors behind How I Learn: A Kid’s Guide to Learning Disability suggest activity as a way to keep the blues at bay, introducing a parade of animals that show off a variety of movements…Clifton-Brown never lets her anthropomorphically accessorized animals look too dour (except perhaps for a cowboy cow in the opening scene, shown sitting beside some very droopy cacti), providing a secondary boost of positive thinking. * Publisher’s Weekly *
Boys and girls are encouraged to begin the day positively with a wide range of motions and affirmations, while adults are invited to use the pictures and text as a springboard for helping youngsters to foster a better understanding of emotions, fitness, and their symbiotic relationship. Illustrations by Holly Clifton-Brown show a delightful range of agile animals moving their own heads, tails, hooves, and tentacles, proving that healthy minds and healthy bodies are just a shimmy away. * Foreword Reviews *
