The Monster Parade: A Book About Feeling All Your Feelings and Then Watching Them Go

By: Wendy O'Leary
Reviewed by: OCLS Staff

"This fun and playful story uses the analogy of a parade to help children acknowledge and manage big feelings. Watch as anger passes and sadness disappears... it's all a part of the parade. Written in verse, The Monster Parade helps children name and work with emotions in engaging ways. Simple enough for little ones with the depth to support children as their social and emotional intelligence grows."
