My Cold Plum Lemon Pie Bluesy Mood

Reach for this book when your child seems overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of their feelings and struggles to find the words to describe them. It is a powerful tool for those moments when a child's mood shifts rapidly from morning to night, leaving both parent and child feeling a bit breathless. Through the eyes of a young boy named Jamie, the story transforms abstract emotions into a vivid, sensory experience using the language of color. Jamie guides readers through his day, explaining how a 'cold plum' mood feels different from a 'stormy grey' or a 'sunny yellow' one. By using rich, poetic language and artistic metaphors, the book validates that feelings are not just good or bad, but complex and multifaceted. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8, providing them with a sophisticated emotional vocabulary that moves beyond basic happy or sad labels. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates a young boy's emotional intelligence and creativity while normalizing the natural ebb and flow of daily moods.
