Sometimes I'm a Baby Bear, Sometimes I'm a Snail by Moira Butterfield

Sometimes I'm a Baby Bear, Sometimes I'm a Snail
Ways to Say How We Feel
by Moira Butterfield
Illustrated by Gwen Millward

Sometimes I’m a baby bear who loves getting big hugs.
Do I want a cuddly squeeze? Yes please!

Sometimes a child feels cuddly like a baby bear or playful like a puppy. Other times, they want some quiet time alone like a snail, safe in its shell.

Through sweet animal comparisons, this book explores the ever-changing emotions that young children face and shares simple tools for dealing with everyday situations, expressing wishes, and respecting boundaries.

Expressing feelings linked to familiar animals will help give children some workable communication tools. Kids and caregivers can have fun acting out the feelings of the creatures featured.

We know that children who can express their feelings are likely to feel less frustrated and will start to grow awareness of the feelings of others. We also want children to have their choices respected and listened to by others.
