Kimochis Books

Every parent takes pride when their child begins to build their language skills and take their first steps towards their education, but what about your child's emotional vocabulary?

Addressing both aspects of learning, words and feelings go hand in hand in the range of picture books from Kimochis™. The adorable Kimochis™ characters you've come to know and love have introduced three picture books illustrated by award-winning artist Hanako Wakiyama, with stories by award-winning children's book author Amy Novesky. Each book introduces children to the varicoloured world of feelings, and includes a forward from communication expert Ellen Pritchard Dodge - giving parents and educators simple tips for dealing with challenging moments.

Unfortunately parenting doesn't come with a foolproof manual, but the Kimochis™ range of books are not only entertaining, they also provide priceless suggestions to parents on how to teach your children emotional lessons that they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

The books are a great addition to the Kimochis™ range, with each character - Cloud™, Bug, Huggtopus™, Cat, Lovey Dove™, Bella Rose and Clover - representing a different personality type and temperament. Each Kimochis™ also comes with 3 feeling cushions that represent the emotional challenges faced by that particular character. These traits, and the impact they can have, are explored in the first Kimochis™ books, centered around Cat, Bug and Cloud.

In Cat's Not-So-Perfect Sandcastle children learn how to better deal with feelings of frustration and understand that things can't always be perfect. In Bug Makes a Splash little ones may be able to relate to Bug's feelings of being afraid while learning that you can be brave by giving things a try, and in Cloud's Best Worst Day Ever Cloud learns the important lifelong lesson that it's okay to be mad, but it's not okay to be mean.

The Kimochis™ books are the perfect tool for children to learn that though feelings can be messy, how they deal with them doesn't have to be.
