A little tear had a bad day. First, he woke up too late and rushed through the morning. At recess, he and his friend planned to play together, but Steve left him and played with the other tears. Then the little tear hurt himself when he slipped and fell. Throughout the day, he kept his feelings to himself. He pouted but didn’t tell anyone he was angry, hurt, sad, or upset. Keeping everything inside, the little tear reacts badly to a situation at dinner. Is there something the little tear could have done to make his day smoother? Is it better to pout it out or talk it out? Learn more in The Tear’s Tale by Dyllan Coelho-Holm, illustrated by Joe Huffman.
The Tear’s Tale by Dylan Coelho-Holm is an adorable story about a tear who must learn that bottling up his emotions can have problematic consequences. The characters are easy for children to identify with as the tear interacts with his teachers, peers, and family. The illustrations by Joe Huffman are beautiful and tell the story in a colorful way that kids will love. The message woven through the story encourages kids to talk about their feelings rather than trying to keep everything inside, which is an important life lesson. In addition, I love how Coelho-Holm uses easier words that early learners can sound out while learning to read. This could quickly become a childhood favorite, and I hope that Coelho-Holm has many more stories like this one with important lessons that will stick with children throughout their lives.
