Mama Makes Books Brave as a Lion

These Choose Your Mood Board Books are a fun, interactive way for young children to recognise their emotions and develop their emotional vocabulary, using animal associations, decision-making and mood-lifting suggestions. Teresa Bellón’s animal characters brilliantly visualise the moods and feelings to help children identify their own. The double-sided ‘You Choose’ puzzle pieces offer different ways for children to play with the book and offer parents and carers a tool to open conversations to foster good mental health through play.
