I absolutely love this book! We follow Jamie and his moods during the span of a typical day. I love the approach of associating colors with emotions. But then add a sort of freestyle rhyme to his thoughts as he shares his current mood and I was enthralled and reading with a big grin. I can't wait to work with both my boys on a mood/color writing project. This is the sort of book that surpasses entertainment into inspiration. I want to go old school, ditch the computer, and break out the notebook paper and yellow number two's. What a great start to their summer vacation reading! If you want to explore moods and emotions with your little one, this is a fantastic book. I almost forgot to mention the illustrations...fun and matched the story perfectly! I thought this book was a very creative and unique way to help children explore their feelings and moods through the use of colors. Lyrical and fun, children will enjoy watching Jamie's mood change through out the day. They will no doubt be able to relate to many of his colorful moods. It is a great book for parents or teacher to help children talk about what makes their moods change and how to express themselves. I really enjoyed the illustrations, I absolutely love Shane W Evans' work. I was thrilled when I saw that he was the illustrator for Tameka Brown's book.
Moods expressed through colors and poetry. Love this for the 5-8 year old crowd!
