BIG FEELINGS⁣ ⁣ They are perfectly normal and

BIG FEELINGS⁣
⁣
They are perfectly normal and we all have them. However, not every person works through these feelings in the same way. Felix has a handful of feelings formulas to use in difficult situations and they can all be found in this new book by Kate Bartlein and Anita Barghigiani.⁣
⁣
In this story, Felix takes two things with him wherever he goes:⁣
1. Hank, a stuffed rat - this is a friend who is always there for Felix.⁣
2. Notebook of Feelings Formulas - these help Felix figure out how to cope with any new situations or challenges he might encounter throughout the day. And trust me, Felix has plenty of use for these formulas!⁣
⁣
Felix uses the Calm Down Cure after tripping and falling on a tree branch, the Courage Creator when it’s time to climb the rope in P.E., and the Self-Esteem Solution when he notices kids laughing at him.⁣
⁣
Since these formulas work so well for Felix when he has big feelings, they might just help your kids, too! The author has even included a page in the back of the book for kids to create their own Feelings Formula.⁣
⁣
This book would be a great addition to your SEL lessons or to a calm down corner. Thank you to @nationalcenterforyouthissues for sharing this book with my family! ⁣

When you’re in a bad mood or having a tough day,

When you’re in a bad mood or having a tough day, what do you do to try and turn things around? As adults, we tend to have our go-to activities, but kids might need more guidance. My Magical Moods is a new rhyming book by Becky Cummings that introduces 12 different strategies to help kids improve their mood. Some of these activities include listening to music, going outside, spending time alone, being with animals, and more. Swipe to take a peek inside!⁣

There’s something truly magical about connecting

There’s something truly magical about connecting kids with the right books and watching them become readers. And when I find a book that celebrates a love for reading, you know I’m going to share it!⁣
⁣
This book follows Isaac, a young boy who isn’t interested in much. After visiting a little shop with his parents, he learns about The Book of Gold. This is a special book that holds all the answers to every question. And when it’s opened, it will turn to solid gold. According to the shopkeeper, Isaac will need patience and fortitude to find it. ⁣
⁣
Isaac sets off on a decades-long journey to find this elusive treasure. He searches libraries, bookstores, and flea markets all over the world. One day, Isaac finds himself at the entrance to the New York Public Library, where two Lion statues stand guard: Patience and Fortitude. Will Isaac find The Book of Gold inside?💛⁣

Have you read this one yet?⁣

Took a quick trip to the local library today while my kids were in school. I had to return some books that were due, but somehow ended up browsing the shelves until the bag was full. Whoops! 😉

Let me know which titles catch your eye!

“Because sometimes it’s good to be fast, and sometimes it’s good to be slow - but mostly, it’s good to have a friend to help you find the balance.”⁣
⁣
Hare and Tortoise might be neighbors, but they do things very differently! Hare lives life at full speed and thrives on filling her day with completing tasks as quickly as possible. Tortoise is much less concerned about being busy, and is more focused on enjoying the people and scenery that surrounds him. One day, the two decide to race, but who will win? The ending might just surprise you!⁣
⁣
This book adds a touch of friendship and mindfulness to the classic story of Tortoise and Hare. It would be a great addition to your SEL collection in your classroom library.⁣
⁣
Are you more like Tortoise 🐢 or Hare 🐇?⁣

Change is hard! And sometimes when we dig deeper,

Change is hard! And sometimes when we dig deeper, there’s more beneath the surface than we realize. Three Pockets Full: A story of Love, Family, and Tradition helps readers explore changes to the family dynamic.⁣
⁣
In this story, Beto decides he won’t wear a guayabera to the wedding. Nope! Nunca! Not going to happen! Instead, he comes up with some pretty clever ways to make sure that traditional wedding shirt stays far, far away from him. ⁣
⁣
Through back-and-forth notes with Mom, we see her grow more and more frustrated. After all, she wants Beto to wear the shirt to her wedding. ⁣
⁣
When she finds Beto in the basement looking through his father’s old things, Mami tells him that his grief for Papi is something they share. That moment is when Beto realizes he can miss Papi, but still accept that Mami is ready to get remarried.⁣
⁣
This is a beautifully told story that combines culture and traditions with grief, love, and changes to the family dynamic. Thank you to @cardinalrulepress for sharing this book by @cindylrodriguez71 with my family as well as offering a Free Reader’s Guide on your website to pair with the story!⁣

We are so excited about this new book from @aaronreynoldsbooks and @peterbrownstudio ! In this story, Jasper Rabbit is having a hard time at school. The night before his test, he stays up late watching Tales From the Carrot Patch instead of studying. But when Jasper uses his new crayon, everything that was once hard now seems easy! It isn’t long before the crayon starts appearing out of nowhere and leaving him messages that creep him out. Jasper decides it’s time to get rid of the crayon once and for all….but is the crayon ready to let Jasper go? 🤔⁣
⁣
For fans of the first two books, be in the lookout for a surprise appearance from the crayons and underwear in the illustrations! ⁣

Have you read any of the books from this creepy series? If so, which one is your favorite? 🥕 🩲 🖍⁣
