This book teaches children about the different shades of color that their face can turn, based on emotions and feelings. I believe the young people in your life would appreciate it.

Thank you to Netgalley and Mr. Kervahn's team for allowing me an ARC copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

I read this with my 5 and 6 year olds. This is a must-read for conversation around self-regulation and emotional control. My girls loved the story and the illustrations were beautiful

So creative and fun. Our little ones sometimes struggle with understanding feelings and emotions. We follow a young man as he goes through his day. He discovers the color of emotions. His Dad is sad and blue and his grandpa is feeling old and gray. Every color of our rainbow can be a way to describe a feeling. We also learn that we are what God made us to be, and wonderfully so. Such powerful messages given in a truly delightful way. I love the flow of the story. We can see the emotions in the colorful illustrations.
As a Mom I love the message of the story. It is hard to find the right ways sometimes to share these thoughts. Especially for my son who is 5 and on the autism spectrum. The author created a calm and wondrous way to share the message and to be encouraging at the same time. I highly recommend this to all families with little ones.
Enjoy with your family and discover more colors together.

This picture book was very sweet and tried to send a message of equality and acceptance. The art was stunning by and really eye catching. I think a lot of kids would love this fun story and it could really help them learn to read and learn their colours.

I didnt even know that you could express so much emotions with colours

"What Color Am I Today?" started out so awesome! The illustrations are just gorgeous, and I loved how it used rhymes to connect colors with feelings. It was a super cool way to talk about emotions. I was totally hooked at the beginning.

But then, it took a bit of a weird turn. When it started talking about God and skin color, it kind of pulled me out of the moment. It felt a little out of place with the rest of the book's message, and honestly, it made me a bit uncomfortable?.

Still, I have to give props to the art. The illustrations are truly beautiful, and the whole idea of using colors to express feelings is brilliant. .

This book helps kids to associate the colors to the different emotions. The illustrations were cute.

I hope I'm not reviewing the real thing, but as it was downloaded a year and a half after it came out, it seems I am. And what that is is so badly written, and so lumpenly formed into verse, that some of it isn't even in actual, grammatical English. The back cover wasn't even spellchecked. Not the kind of thing young readers should be subjected to. A rare one star.

I liked the correlation of colors with emotions in the story, such as green with envy. But I'm not sure where the author was going with the skin color part. All in all, a cute book with vibrant colors and illustrations. Thank you to KP Publishing Company, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles, and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I liked the beginning of the book that started off with the connection of the colours to how people were feeling, but I felt like then the colours became less clear (white as a ghost, and then turned grey). I feel like if the authour's purpose was to draw the connection between colours and feelings it kind of lost the point and would confuse children. Then when God was brought into it I feel like the point was even further lost, as then it became about his skin colour. So I don't feel it was a sloppy execution of the message, to the point that it got lost for me. The illustrations were cute and matched the colour being discussed, but again there was no connection to the feeling. So again, the message was lost.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

I'm not sure exactly where this book wants to go-colors based on emotions, colors based on skin tone, colors based on nature? It could be any or all of these. I think a little more editing would be helpful but it is a cute picture book.

Thanks so much to NetGalley for the free Kindle book. My review is voluntarily given, and my opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful book that teaches children about their emotions. It goes through the different colors we associate with them, like green with envy. The illustrations are absolutely are amazing. I would definitely recommend this book!

Light but educational in terms of teaching little ones to use colors to describe their feelings.
My 4-year-old son already used red, blue, and white when he described his feelings. At first, he just followed what I said then he eventually understood the meaning behind using those colors. His favorite was of course red because I aka his ibu (mom in Bahasa Indonesia) always had a bright red face when she was angry 😅
This book made him understand more about other colors to describe his feelings and we had a great reading experience. The illustrations were good and my son loved them too.

Thank you to Tim Kervahn, KP PUBLISHING COMPANY, and NetGalley for the ARC.

I wanted to love this book. I found the colours used on the question or thoughtfuk part unappealing. However, the story and overall design were great.

Those pages I mentioned just seemed more disconnected compared to the even flow of the scenes.

What started as a book about feelings turned into a book about skin color.

I enjoyed the first half of the book, helping children associate colors with emotions with cute little rhymes. However, the rhymes began to get choppy and the book took a different turn. The illustrations would have made a different impact on me if they matched what the book was saying. For example, when it is stated that the mother's cheeks turned red, the illustration could have shown the mother a bit angry/upset.
There was some good potential for this book but it was lost half-way through.

Illustrated quite well and the concept was also nice but it didn't really wow me. But overall cute!!

This was another book i ready with my 4 y/o. She enjoyed it for the most part and I got to discuss the emotions talked about in the book with her. Would definitely recommend for a young reader.

This quick, rhyming read explores the connection between colors and emotions in a playful way. I appreciated the effort to help kids name their feelings, such an important topic for early emotional development.

That said, I paused at the reference to “God” creating the boy’s skin color. While the intention may have been positive, phrasing it differently (perhaps mentioning nature or individuality) might have kept the focus on emotions without unintentionally narrowing the book’s inclusivity.
It would’ve worked better as a story purely about feelings, rather than including physical descriptions that might distance some readers.

'I look out my window and I can see all the colors of the world around me.'

Such a cute little book about understanding emotions and how everyone experiences them differently. Definitely adding to my Amazon wishlist for the classroom.

I liked to book, but I think that even though the idea was great, the execution was only okay. The pictures were beautiful, but did not match with the description beside it. For example, the kid was smiling when there was a paragraph about fright. I do think that it could get the kids reading mixed up about the émotions shown. However, I think that associating colours with emotions is a great idea with children.

Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book.

A sweet children's book addressing that the world and our emotions are more than they appear to be. I enjoyed the poetic rhyming of the book, and its heartfelt messages displayed in the illustrations. It's great for early literacy, and those just coming to their emotions and how to understand and identify them. A sweet, new take similar to Inside Out.
