Emotional Theater

"It's so important to learn empathy and how to navigate emotions early in life-especially in this day and age-and this website truly facilitates that. It's fun, engaging and I love the colorful characters. The details-especially in the unique hairstyles that popped off the screen-really impressed me!"

"I love the creative illustrations and storytelling in this book. I am excited to read it to children and share it with other teachers. When clinking on the author’s links you can get great ideas for fun activities to help develop the child’s understanding of emotions and importance of empathy. Sandra"

"The storybook and digital space created here fills me with joy and hope. The artwork and the characters are so fascinating that I feel I must look closer, learn and read further to really get a feel for - yes, empathize with them. The website and its engaging activities and constructive messaging about the validity of one's emotions are wonderful...as well as validating and having empathy for the emotions of others. If my daughter was still a little girl, we'd be spending lots of fun time with these books and this digital space...and learning good habits without even trying. The first chapter of The Emotional Theater is so artfully written it made me, well, emotional! And I think that's OK."

"This website is a powerful resource for teaching emotions and empathy to children. Theater is the perfect tool for emotional expression, and this site uses many theatrical techniques in a fun and engaging way. With two books, games, learning guides, and journals, the site offers hours of activities. For children that need a supportive environment to express their emotions and strengthen their emotional intelligence, this site offers a welcoming experience."

"I was amazed by how many ways there were to learn about feelings, theater and art. The fun characters and well written stories are perfect for motivated youth or as a group project between adults and youth. By connecting the material with the website the participants can find countless hours of fun and meaningful things to do. I am recommending it to homeschool families I know."
