Too often kids' feelings get ignored. This series helps children and adults accept and acknowledge their emotions. It also helps them distinguish between feelings and actions. Even more important, the stories give kids several ways to cope with feelings. They also allow parents and teachers to discuss other situations in a nonjudgmental way. Ellie is 5 and filled with the ups and downs of feelings. She's excited, she's sad, she's worried, she's rejected. This beautifully illustrated book shares common situations children will recognize. It will help them learn words for their emotions so they can explain these feelings to you. Ellie's Day asks kids to talk about what makes them feel a certain way: grumpy, scared, sorry. This book also reminds children of the many ways of handling emotions. When you're sad, you can ask someone to comfort you; when you're scared, you can decide what you need for reassurance; and when you're happy, you can share your joy.
