'Dracoloristic (Fantasy art book)' by Ida Helena Jokela

Blurb:
 
Dracoloristic features alphabetical colors from A to Z, colorful dragons and characters. The idea for this book came from a two-year-old´s fascination for dragons. It developed into an illustrated poem book with heartful meanings, positive and funny thoughts, sometimes a little melancholic and moody feelings - depending on the nature of the color.

This book could make girls enjoy dragons as much as boys and give inspiration to painting and trying out different color schemes. The illustrations in this book are made mainly with water soluble wax pastels.

'Me Love You' by Hagar & Anat Sal-Man with bonus material!

Check out this book, created by a mother and her children as a way of learning about feelings.

This book is an introduction to the child’s inner world of feelings and emotions, between the age of 2-5. Feelings we all had since the day we were born

●This book is written in rhymes

●The feelings are represented by different colors

●It makes it easier for the parents to talk to their children about feelings ●Feelings of happiness, anger, fear and sadness.

Me-Me is loveable and cute ~ something that makes the child feel connected to him and love him.

Children at those ages are unable to make the connection between feelings, sensations and words. They mostly express themselves through behavior. They do not have the language skills to describe exactly what they are feeling when something goes wrong or if they not receive what they desire.

They express themselves by using:

●Body language.

●Tone of voice.

●Choice of words.

●Facial expressions.

Even though each child is unique in his own way, they all have one thing in common:

All children need their parents' support and understanding. The way the parents react at this stage is crucial.

My intention in this book is to encourage talking and explaining to your child about feelings.

This will enable child to have:

●Positive attitude.

●Self confidence.

●Effective communication skills.

**My thoughts**

I went ahead and downloaded this book, because it was free today. I love the pictures and the information that is provided within it. I didn't know so much about tigers! I would love to see this book in print, with just some minor edits. I think the kids in my class would eat it up. They love animals, so would adore the pictures. I can also see them absorbing all of the information, and constantly sharing it. It's worth a look!

'Worry Wart' by Lisa Kildahl

Book Description:

Chloe Lore is a worrywart. She is a sweet young girl, but she worries about everything, even things out of her control. Chloe is anxious all the time until she realizes that she doesn’t have to worry anymore. Get to know the world of Chloe, her family, and friends as you learn about being able to take control of your own life.

**My thoughts**

Many children are going to be able to relate to Chloe, who has a tendency to worry about all kinds of things. She worries about her friends, her dog, getting hurt, and so much more that is out of her control. These are all typical fears and worries of young children. But Chloe worries so much that she ends up growing a "worry wart" on the end of her nose! Some children will laugh at this. Others, who are extremely anxious, may worry that they are also going to have a growth on their face! They will need to be reassured that this is just a story.

Chloe suddenly realizes that she doesn't need to be so worried all of the time. Her wart disappears and she is very happy again! It's exciting that she isn't worried anymore, but there is a big jump from her being anxious to suddenly deciding she doesn't need to be anymore. There are no words of wisdom from anyone, just a picture of her and her mother smiling in the mirror as they look at her clear face. It feels like there should have at least been a comment from someone or somewhere that told her she didn't need to worry, instead of her simply deciding it on her own. Young children usually need some guidance to come to that kind of realization, especially if they are anxious.

An explanation is present after Chloe celebrates being worry-free. The line about us being the potters and shaping the clay of our lives is a great metaphor for life, but will have to be explained to children, because it is abstract. A lot of discussions can be had with children, either on an individual basis, or even in small group settings, following a reading of this book.

Children may enjoy the rhyming text of the book and the illustrations that are reminiscent of those classic holiday claymation specials. It's definitely not the most familiar style of modern illustrating, but is nice to have something a little different!

Check out author Dianne Branch

In 2008, DB Children’s Books author Dianne Branch wanted to find a children’s book to help guide her daughter Sydney through the process of becoming a big sister. She wanted a book that Sydney could see herself in, but had trouble finding stories with characters that looked like her child.

So she decided to write the book herself for her daughter, and in August of 2011, brought Sydney and Logan’s story to the world by self-publishing Sydney Becomes a Big Sister. In fall of 2011, she added Logan’s Caterpillar to the list of DB Children’s Books’ titles.

Guided almost entirely by her children’s real voices and experiences, her books bring an enjoyable authenticity to young readers that is easy to relate to and understand. Several additional titles will be released in the near future.

Dianne, her two children, and her husband reside in Maryland.
