Yummy Me Feels So Good: 1 (Lion I Am)

This isnt just another story book it is something you can use with your kids and grandkids for many years. Simple and childlike kids identify with the gentle creatures within. Absolutely beautiful.Yummy Me is a genius way of helping children immediately connect with the world of emotions through enchanting animal friends. The images and words are so simple and therefore can be grasped by children and adults of all ages. The book can easily open up space for a dialogue about emotions between an adult and a child all the while being playfully disguised as animal talk. Children laugh and grimace as they flip through the pages mirroring the emotions they feel on the pages. Yummy Me is a great doorway to explore the sometimes difficult arena of emotions both for children teachers and parents.Rather than labeling certain emotions as good or bad these emotions simply get space to be as they are and encourage the reader to remember that they too will pass. The final message of the book that we are in fact none of these mes is a loving reminder that at any moment we can start our day again from joy. I have seen firsthand how taking out this book can transform a childs tantrum into a smile and eventually bursts of laughter.
