Emma Lou and Pearl return with some old and new friends in Emma Lou the Yorkie Poo: Alphabet, Feelings and Friends. Join them as they experience, through a collection of whimsical rhymes, a wide range of emotions. From A to Z, Emma Lou and Pearl invite children to bring emotions to life and provide reassurance that all feelings are expected and accepted.
To cope with our changing world during this vulnerable time in our history, children now more than ever need to feel free to express their fears, worries and joys. Alphabet, Feelings and Friends is a resource for parents, educators and mental health workers to assist children in developing meaningful discussions and insight into their present experiences.
"In a short period of time, readers--and the adults who care for them--can review the brightly colored pages of this alphabet book. This A-Z guide provides rich examples of social and emotional growth experiences for children that can be utilized at home, in the classroom or at therapy spaces."
-- Theresa Fraser, CYC-P, CPT-S, RP, MA, RTC,
author of We're Not All the Same, But We're Family
"Kim Larkins has written a sweet book that introduces young children to 26 emotions that align with each letter of the alphabet. She uses animal characters, rhymes and fanciful pictures as the vehicle for describing that mindful activities can influence how one feels."
-- Laurie Zelinger, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board certified psychologist and author, former director: New York Association for Play Therapy
"With delightful illustrations and lovely rhymes, this book is a must for any educator, parent or caregiver who wants to help children learn about and manage their emotions. Don't miss this opportunity to journey through the alphabet with delightful pups Emma Lou and Pearl and discover a little mindfulness too! "
-- Kellie Doyle Bailey, MA CCC-SLP, MMT/SELI, author of Some Days I Flip My Lid, Some Nights I Flip My Lid - Learning to be Calm Cool Kids.
"This book is an interesting resource to be used with one or more children as part of an educational or therapeutic process. It supports children in start learning how to recognize and manage feelings. I appreciate the background message implying, and somehow inviting to consider, that in difficult times we are not alone and we can rely on others. The use of the rhymes makes the text involving and pleasant to be read (or listened) out loud."

Our book review
An excellent designed book with very colourful images,
characters and rhyming text. This book travels from A to Z covering every
emotion or feeling not only a young person can feel but anyone can. Each emotion is covered by a different character which are
mainly animals and when the person sees that relevant character on TV or in
real life they will associate it with that feeling. A genius way of getting children to not only talk about
their emotions but recognising them in others. For example, in a field near
where I live there are a group of Llamas and when I see them it reminds me of
love as depicted in the book.
As I read through the book even though it is aimed at the
younger generation it reminded me of how I am dealing with my own children
(even though they are grown up). A great book which should be read by all
ages and should be in every young children’s library, as in this testing times of not being able to have a normal life
and interaction with others it will help them understand and hopefully get them
to talk about their emotions.
The book focuses on the positive side of emotions and is
very strong in relaying the fact it is ok to feel sad and lonely at times but
by talking about it all those worries will go away. What I really liked was the fact that the characters and
animals can be related to which will help the person talk about it in a third
person, for example, I feel like Quincy the Quail today which helps the person they are
talking to understand them better.
Praise for excellent rhyming text, imaginative characters
and colourful images which all portray a positive vibe about the whole range
of emotions.
