I enjoy the moments when I ask what they think a character is feeling and my kids say more than one word- we have a Halloween 5 minute story book that includes a story about Riley from Inside Out and I don’t love the book overall but I like how much discussion is prompted by my kids talking about all Riley’s different emotions as she is celebrating her first Halloween in a new place.
For recent books I have loved, my MIL brought home The Together Tree by Aisha Saeed and it was a lovely book about one boy bringing kids together after he had started at a new school. Ghost Book by Remy Lai was my 6 yo’s favorite the last couple weeks, I was excited to have my first time telling him it was important to get sleep even though I knew he wanted to finish his book- I read most of it with him and I enjoy seeing him reading on his own too.
I feel like I need to print out this intro and pin it up on my wall. I hope all the same for you, friend.
