My Many Coloured Days

Product Information

I'm reading it with my 3year old and the no pressure no drama style means some days she wants to talk about feelings in the book and other days she'd rather just list the animals illustrated inside - and that's perfect for us as it provokes thought and discussion rather then force feeding information.

I had never heard of it but she recommended it to help my little guy identify his emotions so that he could learn to explain them rather than acting out. Seuss’s first children’s book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children’s literature was changed forever! Geisel saw his original text about feelings and moods as part of the "first book ever to be based on beautiful illustrations and sensational color". My Many Colored Days Book Review Teaching for Change (2021) by Paige Pagan: https://socialjusticebooks.My Many Colored Days, published in 1996, reflects conversations within child psychology at the time. Adults continue to be complicit with societal labels around color ranging from religious conceptions of black as evil and white as pure, to gendered labels such as blue representing boys and pink representing girls, and then they pass those ideas onto children. Seuss, Thedor Geisel also used the pen name Theo LeSieg (Geisel backwards) for books written by him, but illustrated by others.

Seuss's youngest concept book is now available in a sturdy board book designed especially for his youngest fans.

In the aforementioned study, the child subjects were five to six years old, ages where children are easily influenced by authority figures. Brown days are like slow bears, gray days are like still owls, and purple days are like dragging dinosaurs. These colors have the modifier bright attached to them because other shades of red and blue can be characterized as darker, which would oppositely be aligned with low energy. My Many Colored Days intends to teach early elementary children that it is normal to experience different emotions on different days and even on the same day, which sometimes makes it hard to understand and express yourself.

a brilliant way to explain that we can feel different ways on different days, and associating that to a colour is great for youngsters. We have had the odd conversation after reading it that reflects the colour of the day that we have had - or how we felt in colours when we fell out or did something fun.

Seuss takes the reader on a journey through many different moods in this vibrant and highly original book. It does not pass judgement on feelings or describe them as positive or negative, it simply gives an idea of what effect thay have using very simple text and powerful images.

This can foster negative self-concept for Black and Brown children and teach misleading information about various identities and diversity. I recommend the book Black Is a Rainbow Color as a means to both acknowledge how the color black is loaded with historical baggage, but is also a strong color that reflects a powerful culture as well.

I want to acknowledge that this analysis is based on stereotypical western cultural understandings of colors and that international associations with colors vary. This is a book good for starting conversations about feelings rather then directing or teaching about them directly. That said, when we read it, my son is happy to discuss how he has been feeling and it prompts conversation about what he has done that day (when getting this info is like getting blood out of a stone usually)! This made for a great talking point about feelings and how they can come and go but not define our personality with my nursery drama class.
