Harper Collins: Where’d My Giggle Go (Hardcover Book)

Kids sometimes feel out of sorts without knowing why. 'I felt kind of cranky. I felt kind of sad. I can't tell you why, but I even felt mad.' 'Where’d My Giggle Go' is a delightful way to normalize and dissipate negative emotions. It's a perfect read - aloud that offers a natural way to talk with kids about sadness and reminds us to help others find happiness. With colorful illustrations by Sarah Jennings, it's great for ages 4 - 8, and ideal for classroom discussions on emotions and for parents to discuss feelings like sadness, grumpiness, anxiety, or unhappiness.

To use this book, simply sit down with your child and read it aloud. Point at the colorful illustrations as you read to keep your child engaged. There's no special way to handle it, just be gentle when turning the pages. As for maintenance, keep it away from water and direct sunlight to prevent damage. You can wipe it with a dry cloth if it gets a bit dirty. If your child wants to draw in the margins or write notes, it's up to you, but that might affect its resale value if you plan to sell it later. Enjoy this wonderful book with your little one!
