“Feelings are not right or wrong. They find a spot where they belong.“

I love this book, it has a great message and lesson about having big emotions when starting school. It explains things in a simple way for young children and teaches them how to breathe through it.

This book would be great to read on the first day of kindergarten. It is a great introduction to what starting school brings, including all different types of emotions. It could help a child understand that those emotions are okay and expected when starting something new.

Take a breath. Close your eyes. Pretend to float. Let calm arise.

I thought this book was a super cute way to show children's emotions at school. I loved the illustrations, color, and different fonts for the text. I would definitely use this in a classroom.

I would use this book during the first week of school to get rid of the first day “jitters“. It can help children not feel alone with their emotions and know that theirs other people out there feeling all the emotions too! This would contribute to a great lesson on emotions as well because it describes some instances where people feel certain emotions.

“Take a breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. You'll find a spot without a doubt.“

I would read this book on the first day of school to help my students feel comfortable in my classroom and excited for the year ahead as they manage the emotions they are feeling.

(picturebook) This book discusses the emotions that may come with the first day of school, excited, nervous, and scared. It teaches children it is okay to have lots of feelings on the first day and that they are not alone.
