A Pocket Full of Colours Hardcover – December 12, 2020 by Joe Starling

Description

A Pocket Full of Colours is a story about a quiet young boy called Sam, who struggles to manage his emotions, which are actually colourful creatures living in the navy blue pocket of his t-shirt.

As we experience a day with Sam, we get to know, love and relate to him. One of the greatest problems for Sam is his irritating younger sister Tilly, who is the opposite to him. Sam’s different emotions come out as small, brightly coloured creatures who pop out of his top pocket and express how they feel in dramatic ways. Throughout the story, we learn a range of coping strategies that Sam uses in order to calm each creature and help them return to his pocket.

“You might think that dealing with one creature is quite easy… But when they all come out at once, what will Sam do?”

This wonderful book can be used both at home and in school to support children’s learning and understanding of emotions. Purchasing this book will also give you FREE access to resources and activities that will support your child’s learning alongside the story. See inside the book for more details!
