Review All Children Need This Message. " This is a great book for kids, I love that it explicitly states that all feelings and moods are inherently normal. The illustrations are engaging and adorable. I have Aspergers and several of my children are not neurotypical as well. I think people who have BIG feelings tend to struggle with shame, no matter how careful one is to avoid judging statements. Its also difficult to believe your parents' positive energy/beliefs about you because they "have to" love you, so its wonderful to have a book like this to add to our library. My 3 yo (who has screamed at me that he hates being himself b/c of his anger) lit up when we read this together. He got the message loud and clear. He put it carefully away (unusual!) and exclaimed its his favorite book. I wish my parents had had this book to read to me. " -Flyalien Normalizes Feelings! " This book allows children to explore an array of feelings without placing judgment on a particular emotion. It teaches children that experiencing a particular feeling doesn't deem them a bad person. A quick and captivating book with fun pics." -dmktherapy From the Author Thanks for sharing my story.
