Reach for this book when your child is struggling to put a name to their big feelings or when they seem overwhelmed by the changing 'weather' of their internal world. This clever concept book uses typography to transform the letters of an emotion word into the facial features of a character, making the abstract concept of feelings tangible and visual. Through a simple narrative about a passing storm, the book introduces a wide spectrum of vocabulary beyond just happy and sad, such as puzzled, shocked, and ecstatic. It is a brilliant tool for children aged 3 to 7 to develop emotional literacy while simultaneously reinforcing letter recognition and word association. By showing how feelings change just like the weather, it provides a gentle, normalizing perspective on the temporary nature of difficult emotions like worry and fear.
