OUT OF A JAR

OUT OF A JAR by Deborah Marcero

This is a beautiful picture book for young and old alike. Out of a Jar is the story of a bunny named Llewellyn who doesn't like to share his emotions. Instead when he feels an emotion he takes it and shoves it in a jar and stores it deep down. All of this seems to work until one day he discovers there is no more room to store his emotions and an explosion occurs. This is not just your typical "let kids express their emotions however they want" book. This teaches kids to acknowledge the emotion, share it with others, and let it go. It just approaches emotions in a much more respectful way while still feeling and expressing them. This is a lesson we could all benefit from.
