'Would I use the book to support tamariki (children) better understanding emotions? Yes, I definitely would.' - Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand
'An excellent book for parents and ECECs' - Maggie Dent, parenting author and educator.
We all have lots of feelings,
it's OK to let them show.
They all live in our heart
as our very own rainbow.
What does your body do when you're sad or angry? How do you show someone you are proud?
For children, experiencing new emotions and understanding them are two vastly different things, but poet Jessica Urlichs and illustrator Rebekah Ballagh have created an accessible and wondrous rhyming picture book about the rainbow of feelings that live in our heart that helps little ones to express their feelings.
Also a qualified counsellor, Rebekah has provided notes for parents and teachers at the back of the book to help caregivers start conversations around understanding, identifying and navigating emotions.
Would I use the book to support tamariki better understanding emotions? Yes, I definitely would. * Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand *
An excellent book for parents and ECECs. -- Maggie Dent * parenting author and educator *
This book so very beautifully illustrates and captures the children's immediate attention and takes them on a discovery of learning about emotions that children experience so often.
Associating the emotions with colours gives them a pictorial representation for their recall but more importantly what happens to our bodily senses when emotions are activated.
As an early years teacher this book definitely helps children learn more about their social and emotional competence and is a wonderful tool to have in your library.
