It's great and I will ask my daughter's school to get it

Emotion stories is a fantastic, timely resource which is really helpful in exploring different emotions with young children. As both a parent and a speech and language therapist, I especially appreciated the extended language around emotions, giving me a child friendly platform to discuss words like rejected, anxious and jealous with children- helping them to recognise and label the nuances between different feelings. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to open a conversation with a child about emotions.

Emotion Stories is a bright and appealing resource which helps young children understand and use words to describe emotions and feelings. There are clear instructions which explain how to introduce and use the resource, these are broken down into different steps which provides a structure for progression as children develop their skills. There is also an opportunity to customise stories so they are specific to the child and their setting. Overall, highly recommended for all Early Years Settings to support young children's language and emotional development.

Thank you for producing Emotion Stories! This brilliant resource fills a much needed gap for children who may struggle to understand and use emotion vocabulary. My daughter and I both immediately warmed to the character of Imo! She enjoyed considering how Imo might be feeling in each of the presented scenarios, and spontaneously used the emotions fan to tell me how she'd been feeling about a difficult home situation - wonderful!
