SLJ Review of Colorful Minds Set Two
Using a color spectrum, readers are introduced to the expression of and understanding of different emotions they experience. For fans of Inside Out, this color coding style will feel familiar with some additional feelings added into the mix.
Notably, the feeling of loneliness and stress help to explain what is going on in the mind when one feels each. Each colorful element of the mind spectrum is treated equally to show that there is no shame in feeling any of them.
VERDICT: This sort of emotional intelligence makes these titles very useful for schools, especially for counselors and social workers, and likewise can be beneficial for home use by parents to similarly explore this sort of emotional understanding with children.
