About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to put a name to the swirling mix of feelings they experience throughout the day. This rhyming introduction features a whimsical cast of characters called the Jolly Jangles, each personifying different traits and emotions. By giving these abstract concepts a friendly face and a catchy name, the book helps bridge the gap between internal feelings and external expression. It is an ideal choice for parents who want a lighthearted, non-threatening way to discuss self-worth, kindness, and individuality with their preschooler or early elementary student. The gentle rhythm and bright illustrations make it a soothing bedtime read or a constructive tool for cooling down after a high-energy day.
