Sometimes there are things that are too precious to let go - Emi Zako
Since COVID-19, many of us understand the importance of mental health in our daily life. It is essential to understand our own feelings and have skills to label those emotions. Most importantly, we all need to understand that it is okay to have even negative emotions; we just need to know how to express appropriately and how to deal with those emotions. During early childhood, infants have simple emotions compared to adults: such as comfortable or uncomfortable. So if your baby cries, you should check their comfort first because almost likely something is making them uncomfortable; for example, he is hungry, thirsty, wet, cold, or hot. As infants grow, their emotional development thrives with their life experience. They feel happy, joy, sad, or mad. It is important for them to experience those emotions and we need to teach them by labeling those emotions. I would like to introduce some great children's books that support young children's emotional development. How Are You, Shuta? is the perfect book for your young ones! Featuring an adorable dog, Shuta shows different facial expressions to demonstrate his feelings, allowing your little ones to easily relate to and understand these emotions. This book doubles as both a great bedtime story or gift for your children while also promoting the development of empathy and understanding of emotions from an early age. It is available at Amazon with Kindle Unlimited, Kindle eBook, and Paperback and Barnes & Noble with Hardcover. The story of White Socks takes you on the journey of a young child and their favorite stuffed animal. This book will take your children on an emotional journey that allows them to discover and understand these experiences from another perspective. Follow along on the journey to find White Socks! It is available at Amazon with Kindle Unlimited, Kindle eBook, and Paperback and Barnes & Noble with Hardcover. Read those children's books to support your child's emotional development because they need to learn to identify and label their feelings correctly and how to express them appropriately; most importantly, they need to know that all emotions are valid even negative emotions.

The second, infants do not understand a word, but they understand your facial expressions, feelings and tones of your voice. They learn everything from you: what you do and how you feel. So start reading books to your child as early as possible, your infant can enjoy watching your facial expressions and hearing your voice while you read aloud to your infant. Importantly, you should enjoy reading because your child can feel what you feel. Pick a book that you like. I pick a children's book by it's cover and illustrations because unlike adult novels, the illustrations are a huge part of the children's book.

This is it! This week is the final round of Allauthor Cover of the Month contest!
It was a stressful experience. I am excited and nervous every week. I hope my book cover stays in top 10. At the beginning of this month, I started using Twitter and am still don't know so much of it. I actually typing in English and Japanese to tweets but my computer does not have Japanese language so I have to use my cell phone. I created a poster for the final round because I thought everyone probably seeing Shuta's book cover so many time; just adding somethings more exciting doesn't hurt, right? I think it came out really cute. It still the same Shuta's cover but doesn't have the title. This is my advantage because I am the illustrator so I can change those things. If my book stays in top 10, it would be so wonderful because the cover is my artwork and represent my love to Shuta. The picture is one of my favorite pictures of Shuta. |
