About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling to understand how their internal moods ripple outward and affect their surroundings. It serves as a gentle bridge for children who find it difficult to articulate big feelings like anger or frustration, providing a visual metaphor for the power of their emotional state. The story follows young Rona as she discovers a magical tree that changes its appearance based on her emotions. When she is angry, the tree reflects that energy; when she is kind and joyful, the tree blooms. This narrative normalizes the range of human emotions while highlighting the beauty of self-regulation and empathy. It is an ideal choice for parents of preschoolers and young elementary students who are navigating the transition into being 'big kids' with more complex social responsibilities.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and focuses on emotional intelligence. There are no heavy topics such as death or trauma; instead, it addresses the 'peril' of negative moods and how they can isolate a child. The resolution is hopeful and empowering.
