The Shape of Me and All My Colors

About This Story

A little emotion sprite changes colour and shape with different moods. A yellow ball and a grey-blue puddle are among its forms, offering visual ways to talk about joy, sadness and other feelings.

Read this story together at your child’s pace. The pictures and the character’s choices can be a starting point for noticing feelings and asking questions, rather than searching for a correct response. A child may want to talk, point to an illustration or simply listen. Leave room for their own interpretation, and return to a favourite moment if they wish. The suggested age range and themes help you choose a book; they do not set a test for how a child should understand or respond to the story.
