You will love it if you are looking for a book:
- To talk to your child about difficult emotions, such as sadness or anger, in a simple way.
- To show them how to be a good friend and support others.
- For a calm bedtime story that leaves a sweet sense of security.
Why This Book Is Special:
- It doesn't try to "fix" sadness, but shows the child that it's okay to feel bad sometimes.
- It's a beautiful lesson for little ones (and grown-ups!) about the power of simply being "there" for someone, without needing to say much.
- The simple and sweet illustrations by the author herself perfectly capture every emotion.
- It helps children understand that the best help isn't always advice, but silent understanding.
A beautiful hardcover book, ideal for little hands. Contains 40 pages with the wonderful illustrations of Cori Doerrfeld.
Suggestions for use by parents or educators:
- Use it as an opportunity to talk about how we feel when something makes us sad (e.g. a toy breaks, we have an argument with a friend).
-
Encourage the child to recognize the different emotions shown by the animals (anger, chatter, impatience).
-
It is an excellent tool for teaching active listening – truly listening to others.
With the book you can:
- Discuss: Why didn’t Taylor want to talk at first? Why did the chicken want to talk? Why did the bear want to get angry?
- Ask the child: What makes you feel better when you are sad? Which animal do you think helped the most and why?
- Play: Build a tower with blocks. If it falls, imitate what each animal would do (the bear, the elephant) and finally, what the bunny did.
