Reviews for Dinosaurs Have Big Feelings Too: A Mindful Adventure for the Family

Dr. Rebecca Greene - Child Development Expert: With Looney Tunish characters but with real life lessons, this book is entertainment and education at its best. The Finger Holds technique helps with a child's grasp on how to manage her emotions, and the story is written in an easily understood way that promotes emotional self-awareness. Ms. Claire Roberts - Early Childhood Educator: Rex's journey with big emotions provides a fun, easy way for kids to learn emotional literacy. The Finger Holds is a simple and easy way for kids to understand how they can control emotions, this story helps them remember that. An essential for classrooms and home libraries everywhere. Prof. James Douglas - Specialist in Children's Literature: Dinosaurs Have Big Feelings Too is an ingenious, direct-connect educational story that takes young children by the hand and walks them through the world of their own emotions. A positive role model who faces similar struggles to the kids and by having well-meaning friends around Rex, he can gently work through his emotions with them so children get a sense of hope that they too will be OK. The book is at once empowering and soothing.
