In this activity, you will read a book with the child and practice identifying and naming the emotions you see from the characters in the book. Talk about the emotions in the book and relate them to the emotions that the child experiences: “He is so sad because nobody came to his birthday party. Just like you were sad this morning because it was raining, and we couldn’t go outside.”
