My Many Coloured Days

A great book . Bought for my gradaughter who’s 6 and had some medical treatment that was very difficult for her and I wanted a book about our feelings . The rhyming words she can read herself and her 3 year old sister can appreciate it to .Very good for asking “ how are you feeling today ? ‘ ‘ what colour are you today ?’ Lovely pictures that describe different emotions very well , with some fun ones too .They both love it

This book has beautiful illustrations which capture the essence of the feeling being described. I have personally found this works especially well with children on the autistic spectrum and very young (pre-verbal) children. It does not pass judgement on feelings or describe them as positive or negative, it simply gives an idea of what effect thay have using very simple text and powerful images.

This made for a great talking point about feelings and how they can come and go but not define our personality with my nursery drama class. I like that there is more variety than my other books about colours and emotions.

Simple concept but ideal for any age, so easy for young children to relate to a colour when cannot express hiw they feel in words.

This is a book about feelings for adults and children alike with stunning paintings. I bought a copy because I was already familiar with it from the past having read my bros one when he was younger and he threw his copy out. It was relevant to a dementia course I'm currently doing. I've never forgotten this book. It will stay with me for life. One of those books for keeps. You will not be disappointed. It has all the rhyme of dr Seuss.

I got this for work as I work in a school. It gave the chn a better understanding of feeling and how they can link a colour to it!!

I really enjoyed this book.My four year old really likes it too ..... though not exclusively.We have had the odd conversation after reading it that reflects the colour of the day that we have had - or how we felt in colours when we fell out or did something fun.a good addition to a childs library (and a parents too)

The cover is not particularly enticing for young children. My son does not tend to choose this at book reading time when it is next to so many more exciting looking books, for this reason. That said, when we read it, my son is happy to discuss how he has been feeling and it prompts conversation about what he has done that day (when getting this info is like getting blood out of a stone usually)!
