Learn how Willa turns her thunderstorms into rainbows! Sometimes, Willa's grumpy feelings burst out of her like thunderstorms. Until one unexpected day, Willa is touched by the joy of a beautiful rainbow. Happy colors flood out to her friends. She discovers the magical secret of how to give a rainbow! When was the last time you saw a rainbow? Did it fill you with a unique sense of joy and wonder? In Give A Rainbow, the symbol of a rainbow and that magical feeling you get when you see one is turned into a self-regulation tool for young children learning to form friendship connections and find their way in the world. Teachers and parents can use this book to help guide children as they enter school, make friends, and beyond by encouraging little ones to choose rainbows over thunderstorms. It's a great addition to your social-emotional toolbox. - When they share blocks with a friend... a rainbow! - When they include a friend in play...a rainbow! - When they help a friend...a rainbow!
