Overview
“Emotions in Motion” is a wonderful resource for supporting children in understanding, recognising and expressing emotions. This book explores the whole spectrum of emotions through glorious words and illustrations. It encourages children to identify their own emotions and to be able to express and understand them. In the first section of the book the author has delightfully matched each highlighted emotion to a color, the illustrator has illustrated a facial expression that may match the emotion, and then the author describes the emotion as a simile. The second portion of the book could almost be described as a simple workbook, to help children record and explore their own emotional concerns.
