Review for Penny Panda

What a fun read aloud to open the discussion about emotions. From anxiety in front of an audience to fear to keep you safe, the emotion ninjas are here to save the day and help your little to understand these emotions are perfectly normal. It’s a wonderful resource for adults to dive into the world of emotional awareness. The vivid illustrations are absolutely adorable and definitely child friendly and relatable – who doesn’t love a cute ninja or a cuddly panda?!
