Reach for this book when your child is struggling to explain why they are upset or when their emotions seem to change with lightning speed. It provides a concrete, visual vocabulary for children who feel overwhelmed by the intensity of their internal world. The story follows Louie, a young boy who experiences his feelings as a vibrant spectrum of colors, helping him realize that no emotion is permanent or 'bad.' By using the rainbow metaphor, the book transforms abstract feelings into something manageable and artistic. It is a gentle tool for parents of preschoolers and early elementary students to normalize emotional fluctuations and encourage self-expression through a secular, creative lens. You might choose it as a nightly check-in tool to help your child 'paint' a picture of their day.
