Emotion Vocabulary
Gives kids clear, usable words for naming feelings in both languages.
Why It's On Our Shelf
This is one of those books I pull out when I can tell my kid is having a big-feelings day. The pages are simple, but they open up real conversations in a way that doesn’t feel heavy. Reading the feelings in English and Spanish gives us more options for naming what’s happening. It’s a great reminder that feelings don’t need fixing, they need words.
