THe colour of me

With all that has been happening in the world this past year, I felt it important to write something to help children understand that it is okay to have strong emotional reactions to situations.  This book, targeted at children aged 2 to 6 years old, celebrates and promotes diversity with every character and emotion represented by a different colour and gender. The final page would have each character joined together making a wonderful rainbow. 
​I'm not an illustrator but at least that's how I see it in my mind!

​The Colour of Me by Kerry Gittins
Sometimes I feel mad.
When I’m mad I am red.
​Sometimes I feel happy.
When I’m happy I am yellow.
Sometimes I feel cuddly.
When I’m cuddly I am pink.
Sometimes I feel calm.
When I’m calm I am green.
Sometimes I am brave.
When I’m brave I am purple.
Sometimes I feel confused.
When I’m confused I am orange.
Sometimes I feel sad.
When I’m sad I am blue.
Sometimes I can feel all those feelings in just one day.
When that happens I am a rainbow.
