Did your child receive “I Am a Rainbow” by Dolly Parton this month?
This colorful and upbeat story gives children a fun way to talk about their feelings and lets them know that we all have a rainbow of feelings inside! By understanding their own feelings, your child can also learn to respect the feelings of others.
Don’t forget to try some of the activities listed in the back of your child’s book. Here are some suggestions!
Starting Up: Notice the actions of the kids on the front cover. Ask your child, “What are the kids doing?”
Reading the Story: This story teaches children the names of colors and matches them with feelings. As you read, point to and say the name of each color.
After the Story: Ask your child questions about the story. How do you show your feelings when you are happy, sad, or angry? What makes you feel better when you feel sad or angry?
