An engaging story that helps children work with difficult emotions by imagining them as playful monsters in a parade (ages 3-7).
Watch as the anger monster passes and the sadness monster disappears—it’s all part of the parade of  feelings we experience every day. Instead of holding on to their emotions, kids can acknowledge them and let them go on their way.  
  
What’s happening in your parade today?  
 
Here’s the angry monster 
Headed this way  
It growls so loud 
But you know it won't stay

      K-Gr 3-O'Leary and Landry beautifully lay out a path to help children navigate emotions. The story begins with the colorful image of young children pointing at monsters of all shapes, colors, and sizes as they ask about the parade of monsters representing all the various feelings that crop up all day long, no matter who you are. Being scared is demonstrated through children hiding in the dark under a blanket with the shadows of the monsters behind them, followed by the feeling of happiness reflected in smiling faces of the children on the page. As the story continues to portray the many emotions that march past, O'Leary instructs readers to take deep breaths so as not to let the emotions become overwhelming. The illustrations feature a diverse cast, human and otherwise, that makes the story relatable to preschoolers and elementary-age children alike. VERDICT In a world where things have become ever more challenging for children, this book does a marvelous job of explaining emotions and how to work through them.-Katie Callahan
