This is a short and simple book to help put words to feelings. I would say this is for children who have a smaller vocabulary.
Each page is a a statement about Aiden having a certain feeling and that 'it is okay.'
Kids have big feelings and it's hard for them to identify their feelings or know what to do with them. This may be a helpful book to teach your kids what sad or mad or scared or happy is.
Plus they will love the fun and colorful pictures.
Because it's geared for littler kids, there is intentionally brief sentences. For older kids, parents will probably need to supplement what they say about each page for age-appropriateness. For example, the page that shows that Aiden is angry shows him throwing something and then a little picture of him cleaning it up, but for me and my kids, I wanted to emphasize more how it's okay to feel mad but the way we express our anger can lead to bad choices. So I have to incorporate some more information throughout the book to point out behavior and relation to feelings.
I liked how they included a photograph at the end of the real Aiden this book was inspired for! My kids get more excited about books when they know the people 'are real.' So that was fun for them to see.
Would definitely recommend this book for toddlers!
