This book is a great resource to use when teaching children how to express their emotions in a respectful and positive way. It is crucial for students to be taught that while it is normal to have strong feelings, it is important to share these feelings in ways that will not negatively impact others.

This is a beautiful picture book based on a popular song celebrating music's many forms. The best way to read this book with students would be to play the song and move through the pictures at the same time. Students will gain a better understanding of how feelings and emotions can be portrayed through music and actions, instead of words.

A Squiggly Story

jessicamgargaro — 2024-09-23 13:58:06 UTC

The lively, fun illustrations by Mike Lowery incorporate story panels with dialogue bubbles, adding visual texture. Also helpful, the boy's story is shown both as he actually writes it --- with just a few letters, some punctuation marks and typographical symbols --- and as he imagines it. Celebrating self-expression, self-discovery and imagination, this book would enhance an early language arts lesson on writing, particularly on the parts of a story. It beautifully highlights the exciting worlds that are opened up when children begin to read and write. In a sweet touch, the boy and his sister model a close and supportive sibling relationship.
