Emotions are high at my house. I tell myself it's just my 3-year old’s way of supporting my writing. She’s providing a wealth of inspiration to push a couple manuscripts (inspired by said emotions) to that next level. Here are the books and feelings we’re exploring!

The Rabbit Listened (2018) by Cori Doerrfeld
An important book not only for my daughter exploring how to deal with her big emotions, but also for me as a reminder to simply be present as she navigates them. After reading, my daughter wanted to play with her blocks and kept repeating, “It’s going to be amazing!” This book is amazing with a  beautiful message for kids and adults.

Love, Mama (2018) by Jeanette Bradley
Both kiddos are going through mommy phases—separation anxiety is no joke! With sparse, effective text and adorable illustrations, I hope this sweet book is a reminder for my daughter that no matter what I’m doing, my love stretches from “earth to sky and back again.”

Love Monster and the Scary Something (2015) by Rachel Bright
When I first read this book with my daughter, I started to worry it would cause bedtime fears. I even snuck a look at the end to make sure all would end well! (It does!) The sweet illustrations counter the maybe-just-a-little-bit scary text, building up to the adorable, perfect climax.

Be Kind (2018) by Pat Zietlow Miller, art by Jen Hill
This book is the perfect conversation starter to discuss what it means to Be Kind and how to incorporate kindness into our lives. Because, no, it is not kind to take toys away from little brother or put feet in little brother’s mouth or tell mommy, “I don’t like your face…” when she’s angry. I love the range of examples this book provides from simple acts like sitting beside someone to big actions like facing a bully. Another beautiful book with important takeaways.
