Facing the Day

Elizabeth Levin is a professor of psychology at Laurentian University.

Facing the Day is an engaging book of rhymes about our facial
expressions and related emotions. Designed for preschoolers, the story
explores the range of moods a child might encounter in a typical day
fromn waking up to going to bed plus all the in-betweens—playing,
eating, learning, and napping. The emotions—covering the full spectrum
from “[a]ngry face, mean words, furious, mad!” to “[s]unny face,
funny, laughing, ha ha ha!”—are portrayed in terrific accompanying
illustrations.

Sure to delight 2- to 4-year-olds, Facing the Day is recommended for
families, junior kindergartens, and daycares.
