My Feelings Have Colors: Zara's Story
Zara does not have the words for what she is feeling yet. She has colors.
Why This Resource Matters
Young children feel everything at full volume long before they can name any of it. Zara gives them a way in, in a story where the child at the center looks like them and the whole thing happens in both English and Spanish.
