Welcome to my latest blog post which is all about a recent publication, The Colour of Happy. Written by Laura Baker and illustrated by Angie Rozelaar, this book is a brilliant read that will get its readers talking about emotions.
The Colour Of Happy covers many aspects surrounding mindfulness, including the name of emotions and language to help children to discuss how they feel. It also explores colours and how they can represent a feeling.
The story is based around a young boy who finds a present for his mum whist on a walk. He is super excited to see his mum but before he gets home lots of things seem to happen which changes the way the young boy feels each time. From feeling angry because the dandelion he wants to gift blows away to feeling thankful for kind friends nearby.
Laura Baker explores a rainbow of emotions using rhyming text which is brilliant for its young readers and makes for a lovely read aloud. Angie Rozelaar’s fantastic illustrations compliement the text so well. The art work through out is utterly adorable and the expressive faces of the young boy represent each emotion realistically.
This read would be a brilliant one to have in a learning setting as well as at home. I also appreciate that the main character is a boy as regardless of your gender we all share feelings.
I will be hosting a giveaway for this book across my social media pages so do keep a look out.
