The Feelings in the Fairytale

CinderSilly is from a series of interactive performance programs called Fairytales and Feelings by Dramatic Adventures, Inc. The classes were designed to help students recognize, identify and manage every day emotions. CinderSilly illustrations were carefully designed to reflect the complex range of emotions for each character.  Models were carefully posed to convey body language and subtle facial expressions.  With each challenge, CinderSilly works through her emotions to overcome the difficulty at hand.  When reading the book with children, it is a wonderful opportunity to explore feelings in the book and in life.  Ask your child, “have you ever felt that way?”  Use the CinderSilly fairytale to open the world of Feelings and increase the power of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE!
