ReviewedEmotions are like a rainbow—there is a color for every one we feel. And when the excited feeling starts to take over the rainbow, it’s time for The Yellow Book! Simple activities, tips, and tricks help young readers whose excited yellow shines brightest in the rainbows of their colorful minds. They can turn the pages from front to back or back to front. They can use every single page or open the book to just one random page. Soon, the other colors of their emotions rainbow will shine with this mindfulness book that supports readers exploring their emotions!
Upbeat and constructive, the Colorful Minds: Tips for Managing Your Emotions series (4 titles) helps children stay in control of their feelings. In this volume, yellow (excitement) shines brightest in the literal rainbow of emotions readers are asked to envision at the book's outset. Seven exercises and activities follow–demonstrated by a yellow cartoon brain–that help readers identify this "bouncing off the walls" feeling, positively channel it, or focusing techniques. Some of the activities include doing a scavenger hunt, going outside and observing nature, and making a "calm zone." The text also recognizes that excitement can sometimes bother others, which, in turn, can feel hurtful to the excited individual; a self-esteem-boosting activity is provided for these times. A useful addition to any SEL shelf.
