I am an elementary school teacher, and this is a great book to address blindness with my students. It is very kid-friendly. It teaches a great lesson about having compassion and accepting others.

Grief feels like someone has left you and can be confusing to young children. This story communicates wonderfully that all emotions are okay to feel.

My 10 yr old was struggling one day, and I teasingly told her she needed Annoyed Skye, which lit up her face. She ran and got her My Emotion Squirrel with his “annoyed” tail and gave it a big hug!
