NZ Picture Books | Emotions and Feelings

Age Range: 3 - 6 years. Betty the Bee buzzes busily everywhere she goes, but when she goes to Crispin's birthday party, being busy creates chaos. For those busy little ones, this colourful story helps them remember to be calm, centred and focussed. In many traditional cultures throughout history, therapeutic stories have been told by the wise elders, who used metaphors to guide and teach children in their tribes and communities. You may wish to use this book as a springboard for discussing emotions and different behaviours - or let the story do its own work
