Think like a detective and discover the clues that reveal how someone is feeling!
In The Fruit Files, children become Feeling Detectives, using facial expressions, body language, actions, and other clues to uncover the emotions of 17 colorful fruit characters, from the Angry Apple and Brave Blackberry to the Joyful Jackfruit and Wishy-Washy Watermelon.
But this book is more than a fun guessing game. Each fruit introduces children to an emotion and helps them explore what that feeling looks like, what might cause it, and how they can respond in healthy ways. Through interactive questions and activities, children are encouraged to recognize emotions in themselves and others, reflect on their own experiences, and develop practical strategies for managing difficult feelings.
With a detective's magnifying glass, an Evidence Log, and plenty of opportunities to investigate, think, write, and share, The Fruit Files turns emotional learning into an engaging adventure.
Ideal for children ages 5-9, this book is a fun and practical resource for parents, teachers, school counselors, and other caring adults who want to help children build emotional awareness, empathy, and self-management skills.
