When her grandma comes over, Emma puts a sticker on her and then grandma brings it to her attention that she can love many things, but some things may mean more to her than others. This is when she realizes she loves her family more than anything and puts heart stickers on her mom and dad and her older brother Oscar.Parents will enjoy reading this book with their children and engaging in conversations with them.

The topics approached by the book are great, and I like how the author uses daily situations to teach kids how to handle their emotions. I like that Ritter dedicates the end of each chapter to engaging the readers in discussion. However, I do think there is a mismatch between the language and vocabulary used and the pictures. The pictures seem suited for children aged 4-7, but the vocabulary is more appropriate for older kids.

I have a almost 4, 6 and 8 year old and they all sat and listened two the first four stories tonight and they loved it. The stories are so relatable for them and the first in particular had them laughing because the character was putting heart stickers everywhere, something my 6 year old daughter would do. Thank you for this wonderful collection Sophia. My children are eager to hear the rest. We're so grateful it came with audio too as that is our preferred way to have story time at night. I will also be using these stories to get my children reading even more.
