I Love You More Than Anything: Children’s Book About Emotions and Feelings, Toddlers, Preschool Kids
Written and illustrated by Emily Hartmann
This is a perfect read aloud or bedtime story for toddlers and preschoolers. It provides parents or teachers with a perfect way to discuss the variety of emotions a young child feels. The book communicates the important message that a parent always loves its child no matter what emotion is present.
The illustrations portray animal and child scenes with typical emotions like fear, anger, frustration, shyness, or sadness. Each contains four lines of rhyming text that are easy for a young reader to understand.
As a parent and educator, I highly recommend this one for preschoolers and toddlers.

Her debut title blends early literacy with social-emotional learning, encouraging confidence, empathy, and patience as children navigate frustration and grow at their own pace.
This bilingual book contains text in Spanish and English on each illustrated page. The characters are a dinosaur family consisting of siblings Lily and Danny, their parents, and a pet parrot named Poli. Lily and Danny are close. They enjoy singing, dancing, and picnicking together. One day, Danny puts the letters of the alphabet together and discovers words. He puts the words together and learns how to read.
Suddenly, his relationship with Lily changes. She becomes jealous of Danny because he spends all his time reading stories about adventures. While Lily knows her alphabet, she cannot read. Can their former close relationship be restored?
Lily possesses a talent that Danny will discover he cannot do without. The dinosaur siblings learn that differences make them stronger when they work together. This book teaches young readers that courage, kindness, and resilience lead to successful accomplishments.

A funny picture book for children who enjoy gaming and are part of a family of adults who enjoy the same hobby. Done in comic book style with illustrations that express the frustration of a loving mom who just cannot find time to enjoy her favorite hobby.
This book is a good choice for toddlers and preschoolers. It follows a typical Michael Gordon illustration style. There are large, colorful illustrations featuring a young protagonist.
In this example, Josh frequently feels frustrated and angry when he does not immediately have his needs met. That might be with food, toys, or a particular activity. Gordon portrays Josh finding different techniques to control that anger. For example, counting to ten, finding another outlet, or sharing toys.
This book is a way for parents or teachers to demonstrate appropriate behavior strategies without exerting themselves as authority figure.
Especially recommended for toddlers and preschoolers but appropriate for older children as well.

A Dreidel of Wonders: A whimsical Hanukkah story with a twist for kids
Written and Illustrated by Edith Naaman
This book combines a whimsical tale of the dreidel with an informative guide for teachers and parents. The first part of the story written in rhyme teaches children about Hanukkah and the role of the dreidel.
Each year when the holiday season passes, Nana packs the dreidel away. One year the dreidel objects and asks why it cannot remain on the shelf with the other toys. Nana accedes to his request.
The second part of the book reflects on the theory of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Program) which is a collection of research, practices, and ideas that assist children to connect with their abilities and other people. This section of the book shows how the dreidel prepares children to conquer pain, fear, and find the courage to try within themselves.
Children as young as three can enjoy the first part of the story, while the second part is a useful resource for caretakers and parents.
