Inspired by the Montessori method of education, this unique board book uses wooden emojis that spin to help navigate the world of emotions with your child. Explore a range of interesting and emotive topics together to delve into what feelings really mean. The book begins with tips for the young reader to interpret different facial expressions. In the subsequent spreads the emoji spinners can be used to respond to different scenarios and topics, including weather, foods, pastimes, animals, environments, and new experiences. The children pictured throughout the book represent a wide range of ethnicities and abilities. A mirror is included on the final page for role-playing different emotions and expressions.
