Alex the Alexandrite
A Picture Book About Emotions, Empathy, and Discovering the Strength in Feeling Deeply
What if feeling deeply could become your greatest strength?
Deep inside the hidden cave, Alex changes color with his feelings. He wishes he could hide them—and be like everyone else.
Through a touching story, Alex the Alexandrite gently invites children to discover that our feelings are nothing to be embarrassed about—they can help us understand others and know how to be there for them.
Created for children ages 4 to 7, this book offers a comforting reading experience to share, while opening the door to meaningful conversations about emotions, empathy, and supporting others.
