My Many Colored Days – Color & Feelings Unit
Using a spectrum of vibrant colors and a variety of animals, this unique book covers a range of moods and emotions. It’s a wonderful way to open a door of communication with your children, learning about feelings and colors along the way!
Some days are yellow
Some days are blue.
On different days
I’m different too.
You’d be surprised
How many ways I change
On different colored days!
On bright red days
How good it feels
To be a horse
And kick my heels!
On other days
I’m other things
On bright blue days
I flap my wings!
Some days, of course
Feel sort of brown
Then I feel slow and low, low down.
Then comes a yellow day
And wheeeeeee
I am a busy, buzzy bee!
Then comes a mixed up day
And I don’t know
Who or what I am!
But it all turns out alright you see
And I go back to being ME!
