Emotatudes: Little cartoon characters that help us understand our feelings

Written by Karen White Porter and Christi Grace Porter, Illustrated by Karen White Porter

Emotatudes are little vibratory beings that display what emotions look like, sound like, and act like. Emotatudology gives our feelings names and even paint pictures of what they look like.

Getting the bejeebers scared out of you paints a picture of what is happening inside of you when you are frightened. Having a conniption tells us more about our inner life than just 'being angry.' Having 'a case of the blues' explains more than just 'being sad.' What do these nouns look like, feel like or sound like? The answer to that question will help us unlock the passion of our inner worlds in living color with sound and movement.

We really can't control how many emotional experiences we will have, but we can control how we will deal with them, but we can ask questions about what needs to be done in emotionally charged situations. The Emotatudes series is a tool to teach emotionally intelligent children who will become the more caring citizens of tomorrow.

I think this book has an impact on children. I am a clinical psychologist and have one in my waiting room. The children love it! This is a book that would be a great gift for grandchildren. It is well illustrated. I would recommend it to anyone who has children, either preschool or up to the 2nd grade.

I never knew I had so many Bejeebers in me, let alone how to get them back whenever I lost them! Thanks so much Christie and Karen for reminding me how important it is to keep my Bejeebers about me! I'm looking forward to learning more about the mysterious world of Bejeebers, and other such creatures that can be found within.
