Milo the monkey
is
sad
. His
mommy
has to take a trip, and he really misses her. Even being at
school
with everyone he knows doesn’t help. His friends join in singing and dancing with the teacher for
music
class, but Milo doesn’t want to dance and sing. His friends all play with
toys
and
blocks
and games during free time, but Milo doesn’t want to play. His teacher,
Mrs. Zebra
, asks if she can help, but Milo tells her that only Mommy can make him feel better. Then Mrs. Zebra has an idea for how to cheer up Milo. Could it work?
I am Sad!
is an ideal way to introduce children to
strong emotions
and how to
recognize and handle them
.
