Lately I have been on a real kick for buying books to help kids understand their emotions. Learning about your emotions and beginning to understand others can make thinks so much things so much simpler. I know I am an adult and I don’t always know what I want or how I feel and that is a very frustrating feeling.
The book In My Heart by Jo Witek each page looks at a different layer of the young girls heart. Each page looks at a different emotion such as happy, brave, mad, and shy. Something so unique to this book is the large heart cut out in the center of the book. Each page is a different color and the size of the heart becomes smaller.
I love this book and I can not wait to share it with students. I would love to see students make their own heart book with different color and sized hearts. Each heart could show the different emotions that the child feels.
Keep Learning,
Ms. Cara
