Max's Box: Letting Go of Negative Feelings by Brian Wray (English) Hardcover Boo

Description: Max's Box by Brian Wray, Shiloh Penfield Maxs parents give him a very special gift: a tiny, magical box that will hold everything, from his toys to his feelings. Max learns, however, that feelings cant be put away as easily as toys. Each negative emotion he feels - anger, embarrassment, sadness, loneliness - gets added to the box, which grows and grows. Eventually it is so large that it keeps him from doing what he loves, like riding his bike and climbing trees. With some help from his friends and family, Max is able to turn the box into something beautiful and let it go. A parents guide explains how well-intentioned adults often encourage children, especially young boys, to ignore and "put away" their feelings instead of learning to fully live with them. This simple but powerful story not only teaches children how to "control" their emotions but discourages suppressing them, the illustrations becoming more colorful and vibrant as Max moves out from his boxs shadow.

Review "An appropriate metaphor to help children manage their emotions. (Picture book. 4-8)" -- Kirkus Reviews"Maxs Box is a clean, easy-to-understand story about emotions, and how suppressing them can cast a shadow over everything we do." -- Rosemary Kiladitis, MomReadIt"Young children will understand the concepts presented in Maxs Box. The art helps articulate Maxs situation by using only incidents children could encounter, leaving adult versions totally out of the book. Wray and Penfield understand children and should turn Maxs Box into the first of many similar books. Wray and Penfield can help children master life and the pitfalls we all encounter. Those who work with children should have Maxs Box in their office." -- KidLit ReviewsMaxs Box is a good picture book that helps parents, teachers and other adults discuss the topic of emotions and feelings with children. At the back of the book there is a section on emotions including how adults can help a child express and manage their emotions." -- Glenn Perrett, Simcoe Review Long Description Maxs parents give him a very special gift: a tiny, magical box that will hold everything, from his toys to his feelings.
