The Magic Jar

"My favorite part of 'The Magic Jar' is that it gives children the opportunity to share feelings openly or silently to themselves. It helps build comfort and trust at an early stage in emotional development and can be fostered in both home and school settings. We all want the doors to be open for children to communicate with us - it's our chance to listen, support, and ensure their voices are heard." - Angie Borst, School Counselor, M.S. Ed.

"I love the story! It's especially helpful since we know that often children come to school with big feelings that might directly impact their days. It feels good to talk about them instead." - Sarah V., Licensed Therapist.

"As a twenty year veteran of teaching 4-year-old kindergarten, I absolutely love this book! 'The Magic Jar' is written as a fun and relatable story for young children that teaches how expressing emotions can help them feel better. I will definitely be using this story in my classroom. Along with having my own Magic Jar for students to use, the addition of this book will allow me to help the children learn that sharing feelings can aid in easing their minds." - Teri Weyenberg, 4K teacher.
