A picture of the book 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas

This beautiful book is a wonderful way to explore emotions with children. Anna Llenas's gorgeous illustrations make complex ideas very accessible as the confused colour monster is guided through his feelings by a little girl who relates each to a colour. Her simple descriptions are evocative and pack serious emotional punch. The book was originally written in Spanish so hat tip to Templar Publishing for such a satisfying translation into English.


Definitely a great read for all, a particularly brilliant resource if you're helping a child navigate and articulate their feelings.
