Today I Feel Silly: And Other Moods That Make My Day

Jun 24, 2020 | Books for Children

From The Cover

“Jamie Lee Curtis’s zany and touching verse, paired with Laura Cornell’s whimsical and original illustrations, helps kids explore, identify, and, even have fun with their ever-changing moods.

Silly, cranky, excited, or sad- everyone has moods that can change each day. And that’s okay! Follow the boisterous bouncing protagonist as she explores her moods and how they change from day to day.”

Why I Love This Book

I think it is so important to match feelings with words. This book does an amazing job not only with the writing but the pictures. The pictures are so incredibly detailed that it allows children to have more context to better understand what frustrated looks like.

I think all children can relate to the feelings and moods described throughout this book which makes it a perfect addition to your bookshelf.
