Feeling Crayons

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with an internal storm but cannot find the words to describe what is happening. It is particularly helpful when a toddler or local preschooler is experiencing the transition from being a baby to a big kid, often resulting in sudden outbursts or quiet retreats. The book introduces a cast of relatable crayon characters, each representing a specific emotion through their unique color and personality. By personifying feelings like anger as red or sadness as blue, the story provides a concrete visual language for abstract concepts. It normalizes the full spectrum of human emotion, showing children that every color in the box is necessary and valid. It is an ideal tool for parents looking to build an early emotional vocabulary and open a gentle door for daily check-ins about a child's mental well-being.
