books that help us grow...

I realized that books are good for about anything. Learning, relaxing and most importantly to help grow ourselves.Stories can be so therapeutic sometimes! This is why I listed my top favorite children books below enjoy!
When Sophie Gets Angry
A book that teaches that feeling angry is normal. It also shows children various ways to calm down. This is a great book to help children express times they got angry or even learn about the feeling anger.

How are you peeling?
A fun book that helps younger children learn many moods, feelings, a facial expressions. This book shares various situations of many emotions. The best part the book ask many questions inside to help create a wonderful conversation with your child. 

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Alexander is a great non fictional character that helps children relate to bad days, moving, and parental relationships. Obviously this book is one of my favorites because it teaches us how our mood affects the rest of our day ad sometimes things happen that we cannot control (something adults need to be reminded of) but Alexander has 2 more books that be helpful for the little ones.

Todd Parr
This author has so many amazing books! Not only are they colorful, bright, and short but they deal with alot of issues (adoption, grief, feelings, being different, ect.) that is easy enough for children as young as 3 yrs old to understand.
