Templar Publishing The Colour Monster: The Feelings Doctor and the
Book SynopsisThe latest picture book in the bestselling The Colour Monster series, from talented author-illustrator Anna Llenas, that encourages conversations about consent, mental health and wellbeing. One day, Nuna was in situation where she didn't know how to say no and it left her feeling strange and confused. So she goes to see Colour Monster who is now a doctor and who can help to heal emotions, especially those that are big and difficult to understand. To begin with, Nuna cannot find the right words. But with the help of Colour Monster and his emotions toolkit, Nuna learns how to use tools and techniques that will make her feel better. Together they try things like deep breathing, arts and crafts, blowing bubbles and dancing until she starts to feel calmer. Now will Nuna be able to talk about what's bothering her? This story addresses complex themes around consent, saying no and mental wellbeing in a sensitive, age-appropriate way. Through Anna's experience as an art therapist, she has interwoven techniques that can make these conversations easier. Including big, fold-out pages, children can look inside the emotions toolkit, making use of the ideas for themselves (with the support of a grown-up when needed). The ideal conversation starter for readers of The Colour Monster, The Colour Monster Goes to School and Don't Hug Doug.Trade ReviewA timely and beautifully illustrated book, encouraging children to investigate the meaning of their emotions and express themselves without fear. It also builds their confidence to say 'no' when needed: a vital skill which will last a lifetime. * Laura Coryton, activist, author and founder of the social enterprise Sex Ed Matters *A simple but highly effective and accessible exploration of feelings and well-being. -- Pam Norfolk * Lancashire Evening Post *The illustrations are also wonderfully powerful as they help to portray complex and difficult emotions in a colourful and relatable way for young children. Out on 7 December, this would be a lovely book for a little one to unwrap this Christmas. -- Fiona Eaton * Mini Travellers *The book is effective in showing children how to listen to their bodies, listen to their hearts, and look after themselves, with the caveat that they don't have to do it all on their own. * Juno Magazine *I spent hours with my young readers looking at all the colour, as well as the places where there is no colour, and we could imagine our own. It was a wonderful way to introduce the topic of feelings and emotions and encouraged wonderful conversations. This is a book with a story to enjoy, a message to take away and a practical guide to expressing feelings. -- Louise Ellis Barratt * Armadillo *
