PPBF: The Color Monster

Today I'm excited because we just got back from our Autumn retirement excursion to see the Fall foliage in my home state of Wisconsin. Words can't adequately explain the sensory explosion we experienced, so I snapped a few (536) pictures. We brought these back to Texas, to share with some of the children here.

The beautiful bouquet of splendor was at its peak;

the leaves blanketed the ground as they fell from their trees,

which are going dormant for the winter that lies ahead.

Each leaf uniquely special in color, shape and size, 

each one completing a season, a poignant metaphor for life.

The farmers were out en force, working diligently on their harvest.

Every single shot a cool kaleidoscope of beauty,

for city dwellers and country folk alike.

Drink in the color and enjoy the a scent-sational forest bath

as we segue into today's most colorful PPBF pick.

Use a graphic organizer to compare and contrast this title with

other feelings books like Visiting Feelings by Lauren Rubenstein 

or In My Heart by Jo Witek

Invite students to draw a Feelings Monster selfie. Or do some feelings leaf rubbings, intentionally choosing colors that coordinate to how the leaves may be feeling. Are there leaves that look happy? Sad? Afraid? Mad?

Why I like this book: In the technological age, when people are spending upwards of seven hours per day on a battery-powered digital device rather than interacting face to face with the heartbeat of another person, it has become increasingly important for us to intentionally teach emotional regulation to our children. This treasure helps facilitate feelings identification by pairing them with colors; for example, green = calm, red = angry, brown = fear, yellow = happy. The incredible illustrations make the Monster's feelings jump off of the page. And which feeling is pink? Such a playfully engaging way to end the book with a wordless page.

Want a creative way to help increase emotional literacy?

Consider turning your ceiling tiles into feeling tiles.

Do your feelings a favor and check out this gem,

Oh, and the Wausau news covered my school visit in Stevens Point on Monday {here}; don't you love it when empathy and kindness make headlines?
