Mariah And The Colourful Tutus of Feelings
When feelings dance inside and words simply won’t come, let the magic of tutus help them shine! Mariah and the Colorful Tutus of Feelings is a profound and empowering 33-page story crafted specifically for quiet, sensitive, or cautious children who find it challenging to vocalize their emotions. For many kids, unfamiliar settings can cause feelings to build up without an easy way out. This book offers a refreshing, stress-free path: expressing big emotions through movement and color instead of words.
Written by pediatric dentist Andre Lewis and women’s health nurse practitioner Constance Lewis, this book draws from their real-life experiences with their daughter, Mariah. As Mariah moves through her day, she uses a different colored tutu to show exactly what’s happening on the inside. Each tutu represents a specific emotion—shyness, fear, joy, confidence, anger, worry, and tiredness. This approach is a lifesaver for children who freeze up, cling to their parents, or withdraw when overwhelmed, offering them a physical way to express themselves without the pressure to perform or explain.
Ranked highly among the best illustrated children’s books about social skills and self-esteem, this story serves as a playful emotional toolkit. Give your child the gift of daily emotional clarity, showing them that all feelings are welcome and worthy of expression. With its beautiful children’s books illustrations, Mariah and the Colorful Tutus of Feelings gently helps young readers build confidence, emotional awareness, and resilience at their very own pace.
