The author has used classic storybook role-reversal here which children will enjoy: the small girl takes the lead and imparts her wisdom on the (much larger) monster. ![]() The book is perfect for kids, and there are lots of colorful pictures in it. At the end of the story, the colour monster has calmed down and jarred all his emotions, which has made room for a new (pink) one to blossom…love! By illustrating such common emotions as happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and calm, this sensitive book gently encourages young children to open up with parents. The Color Monster is a book written and illustrated by Anna Llenas. She describes each feeling for him, and offers to help him through the challenging ones. She assigns a colour to each emotion: yellow for happiness, blue for sadness, anger is red, black is fear and calm is green. The girl begins a mission to help her friend recognise and separate his feelings (and put each one in a jar so they can look properly at them). He’s feeling all mixed up and very confused, and the girl explains that it is because his feelings (and colours) are ‘all stirred together’.
