The Color Monster: A Story About Emotions
This book stands out as a gentle, playful way to help young children begin to understand their emotions. By linking each feeling to a color, it gives kids a clear, visual way to make sense of what they’re experiencing—something that’s often hard to put into words at this age. The story invites calm, thoughtful moments between parent and child, and the illustrations are expressive without being overwhelming. What I appreciate most is how easily it turns emotional learning into a shared experience. It’s a simple but powerful tool for building emotional awareness early on.
