Every story is an invitation to notice, wonder, laugh, talk, and connect.
I’m so happy you’re here.
About the Book
“Every child deserves opportunities to feel seen, heard, and understood,” says Deidre Laverne. “Sometimes a crayon becomes the easiest way to begin a conversation that words alone cannot.”
The book invites children to slow down, notice how colours feel, and express emotions in a way that is playful, calming, and developmentally appropriate — often alongside parents, caregivers, or educators.
Who it's for:
Through the calming experience of colouring, children aged 4 to 10 are encouraged to pause, reflect, and express feelings in a way that feels safe, enjoyable, and natural. These moments can be enjoyed independently or shared with others to create opportunities for deeper conversations that might not otherwise take place.
That’s why What Colour Is Your Mood? was created. To lovingly support children in recognising, expressing, and sharing emotions through the calming, creative experience of art and colouring in age-appropriate and engaging ways.
