The Adventures of BooBoo & Boots
All feelings are okay.
It's our choice what we do with them.
How a child learns to say what they're feeling
Feeling angry isn't wrong. Hurting someone is. That's the difference this book teaches.
Children feel things long before they have words for them.
This book connects three things — what a feeling looks like on a face, where it shows up in the body, and the word for it.
Feel it, recognize it, name it, and learn what to do with it.
What you'll find inside
Ten feelings, and two faces for each one
And plenty that's just fun to color
"It's okay to feel frustrated. New things take practice."
What else is in there
Comic-strip adventures
Happy, sad, mad, scared, calm, curious, tired, surprised — and where each one shows up in the body
"When I feel…" pages
Four things to try, every time
Tracing pages
With a difficulty star on each one, so a child can pick
Meet the real BooBoo and Boots
They are not made up. They are two real, very loved dogs, and they belong to friends of mine.
BooBoo
A sweet and curious Vizsla who loves to explore, learn, and cheer on her friends. She would hike ten miles a day if you let her. She sleeps with her stuffed animals, and she talks — chattering away with her happy woowoos.
Boots
A kind, gentle Shih Tzu who wants nothing more than to curl up in your lap. Outside he's a free spirit — roaming, checking things out on his own. And he never turns down a nice bowl of ice water.
Together they go on adventures that help children notice their feelings, make choices they feel proud of, and grow stronger every day.
With heartfelt thanks to their families for letting them help children everywhere notice their feelings and choose kindness.
