helped granddaughter work through an emotion
One of the stories helped my granddaughter work through why she didn’t like the hugs. When she explained the story to me I understood. She doesn’t like hugs from strangers.

I usually like to read books first before reading them to my neices or nephews. I love that this book teaches children about different emotions. It's colorful. Love the illustrations. Teach children that not every situation requires a reaction.
