About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is grappling with big, new emotions but doesn't have the words to express them. C is for Curious is a vibrant alphabet book that assigns a different feeling to each letter, from Adventurous to Brave to Zany. Through whimsical, collage-style illustrations of animals, the book provides a rich emotional vocabulary that goes far beyond simple 'happy' or 'sad'. It's an excellent tool for children aged 3 to 7 to normalize the wide spectrum of feelings, fostering self-awareness and empathy. The playful format makes learning about complex emotions like 'vulnerable' or 'quarrelsome' feel fun and accessible, opening the door for important family conversations.
