Feature Friday is a new series I’ll be running on Fridays. I have so many great books to tell you about and they are piling up in my reading room. Unfortunately, there is not enough time in my day to share them all. I’m starting a new feature on my social media channels where I’ll share a quick video review of a few books including children’s, middle-grade, young adult, or adult fiction and nonfiction.

Thanks for the free products, Chronicle Kids Books.

The bestselling husband/wife team has continued with their book, INVISIBLE THINGS, by writing board books to expand more on emotions. In FEEL CALM, toddlers who feel all wound up can find calm by tracing paths on the pages. From hiking up the mountain to rolling down the hill to slowly floating down the river, kids will start to…well, feel calmer. The illustrations are silly enough to keep the tone light-hearted even though your child may be feeling upset or stressed.

FEELINGS FLASH CARDS

Flash Cards
The bestselling husband/wife team has continued with their book, INVISIBLE THINGS, by creating flash cards to enhance their books on emotions. These flash cards are perfect for caregivers, teachers, and for kids who struggle with naming their emotions. Made of heavy cardboard, they will hold up to a lot of use by all ages. They can be used to help describe emotions, learn about emotions, or as a game to act out or discuss various emotions. Nineteen emotions plus one blank card are included.
On the Worries Flash Card you’ll find the definition of worries (bothersome, nervous Things) and their natural habitat: Homework, New Things, and Missed Buses. The illustrations are so great and easy for kids to find and identify how they are feeling by looking through the cards.
I’ll be gifting this whole set to our local elementary guidance counselor! I encourage you to gift a set of these to your local elementary school!
