SOME DAYS ARE YELLOW: An SEL Book Review by Lori Keating and a Giveaway

REVIEW

Some Days Are Yellow written by Suzanne Slade and illustrated by Michelle Lee , (Sleeping Bear Press) is a charming rhyming tale that captures the highs and lows of everyday life. I appreciate Slade’s ability to depict the ups and downs of daily life in a concise manner, portraying the different challenges we face each day. Slade’s approach is not only easy for children to grasp but also resonates with adults.

Each page is filled with colorful depictions of different moods, from the sunny yellows of happy days to the somber blues of more challenging times. 

Lee’s charming illustrations skillfully portray emotions, even when illustrating challenging aspects of life…

or the essence of compassion towards others and nature.

The inclusion of bilingual greetings and farewells is an adorable extra detail that I thoroughly enjoyed.

In the end, the reader is reassured that tomorrow always offers a new beginning.

RECOMMENDATION

Some Days Are Yellow is a pleasure to read. It’s a wonderful resource for parents and educators to help children articulate and understand their emotions. It’s more than just a story—it’s an invitation to explore the colorful landscape of our feelings and find beauty in each hue.
