     Hello everyone.  How are you today?  My author, Jodi Desautels, made a simple drawing to look at today.  It is a good way to start talking about feelings with kids.
     The drawing is of three girls.  Two of the girls, Karen and Susan, are jumping rope together.  Sally is all by herself.  She isn't doing anything.
     Look at the faces on all the girls.  What do you think each girl is feeling?  What could Sally say to the girls?  What could Karen and Susan say to Sally?  What would make Sally feel better?

Clarinda Cloud Shares a Video By Barbara Lester about Teaching Children with Autism to Express Feelings

     Hello everyone.  Today, my author has a treat for you.  Jodi Desautels found a video with Barbara Lester on teaching children with autism how to express their feelings.  Isn't that exciting?  I am turning all purple as we speak.  Yes, that means I am feeling excited.
     You know that I like to talk about sharing feelings.  I think my books, "Clarinda Cloud" and "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" would be great to use in  helping children  with autism and all young children express their feelings.
     Barbara Lester is a clinical social worker who works with children with autism.  One of the things she says that will help is to draw pictures of different emotions.  That is exactly what some of the activities in "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" involves.  Yay!  She also says that it would be good to show the children pictures of faces that show different emotions.  Wow!  That is what is in my book, "Clarinda Cloud."  I have different feelings and my author/illustrator (Jodi Desautels) drew me with different faces.

A Page From "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" on Feeling Happy

     Hello everyone!  How are you feeling?  I have decided to share with you a page from the "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book."  And, hey look, there is a picture of me when I am feeling happy!  There is a page like this for every feeling that is in the "Clarinda Cloud" book, plus pages to practice other basic skills.
     I like this activity, because it helps kids talk about feelings.  Kids get to draw a picture of what their face looks like when they are happy.  Maybe it will help them notice just what they feel and how they look when they are feeling happy.
     Then, they get to draw something that makes them feel happy.  Older kids might be able to list a few things that make them feel happy and maybe write a story about one of them.
     This may seem like it is really easy.  But, my author told me that sometimes even adults have trouble knowing what makes them feel happy.  So, it is better to teach kids to know what makes them feel happy when they are younger.  That way they don't feel so confused about it when they grow up.
     What makes you feel happy?

Please remember that my author is having a contest to give away a free "Clarinda Cloud" book.  All you have to do to enter is just answer two questions.

Here are the questions:
1.  Explore my site.  Tell me or my author if you there is a good way to get the word out about me, my site, my books, and my message about feelings.  I think my author calls that kind of stuff things like... "promotion"... "marketing"... "branding"....Um!  But...those words are too big for me!
2.  How many colors do I turn in my book?  (If you don't know... you might have to buy one.  I am not sure if my author has ever told anyone or not.  But... it will be worth it!)

If you would rather answer the questions on my author's other blogs, you can find them here:

         Hi.  I am Clarinda Cloud.  I like to talk about feelings.  I think it is important to know your feelings and to share them in a healthy way.  My author, Jodi Desautels, and I talk about feelings quite a bit.  When I share my feelings, I always feel better.  Do you share your feelings?
