Tell Someone by Tristan Yuvienco, Debra Kempf Shumaker
5.0

Age: Kindergarten-2nd grade
Emotions: Pride, worry, lonely, nervous, regret, frustration, hurt

With first-person narration, children are encouraged to share their big emotions (see above) with adults and bigger kids as a way to feel better. One scenario even discusses consent and secrets that don't feel right, making a child "feel weird or wrong inside" and seeking out a grown-up that they trust.

A book about big emotions for the early grade school audience that offers repetition, clear illustrations, reassurance, and excels in its brevity. A book that should be returned to again and again, with ample room for a dialogue exchange between the listener and reader.
