It is just two days before the long-awaited family
camping with Noanie and PopPop, and while the little girl is excited about the
camping, she is worried about the weather forecast, indicating that things can go
wrong. A phone call brings the sad news that PopPop isn't feeling well. As she
listens to her mom speak with Aunt Kate —a Doctor —about PopPop's condition, she feels
hurt and worried. Will PopPop get well in time for the family camping?
Little
Children, BIG Feelings by Joan Ruddiman EdD is an
interesting, colorfully illustrated book for Children, a book that is expertly
designed to help children find words to communicate their BIG emotions. Young
readers will learn how to properly use adjectives that describe their feelings
such as euphoric, disappointed, hopeful, relieved, worried, anxious, grateful, and
joyful.
The author intelligently uses an engaging story,
accompanied by colorful illustrations, to describe the learning journey of a child
while she joins her family for camping. The family spirit is well written for
children, including fun moments with her aunts and cousins and PopPop. The illustrations
are bright and they inspire a joyful spirit. I read this book with my
three-year-old daughter, and I enjoyed how she explored the characters, how she
resonated with the protagonist, and how she identified the right words to describe
what the young protagonist felt. Little
Children, BIG Feelings provides an engaging, exciting learning journey for
young readers and it features characters that are real and that children can strongly
relate to. It is a highly recommended story for families with children and
those who want to help children find the right words to describe how and what
they feel.
