Into the Rainbow Forest: A Social Emotional Coloring Adventure

Welcome to the Rainbow Forest!

What if learning about the emotions that visit all of us felt like a magical adventure? And, what if welcoming and listening to these emotions could reveal important messages that help us learn and grow?

Into the Rainbow Forest is more than just a coloring book. It is an interactive social-emotional learning adventure designed to help creatures of all ages build emotional awareness, acceptance, and healthy processing of the emotions they experience.

Through 63 hand-drawn coloring and story pages and 34 optional Elder Scroll pages that invite readers to participate in activities and discussions, readers are invited to color, explore, reflect, connect, and grow together.

Whether you're a parent looking for enriching activities that will connect and empower you and your young ones, an educator looking to bring accessible SEL into the classroom, or a counselor supporting the growth of clients, the Rainbow Forest offers an opportunity to use creativity to build emotional acceptance, mindfulness, and coping skills that can last a lifetime.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

• 106 Singe-Sided Pages: 63 enchanting coloring and story pages that allow readers to bring their own magic to our adventure with Albie, Fay, Maizey, and Loodle, while 34 optional Elder Scrolls invite young adventurers and their Elders to connect, reflect, and develop lasting social-emotional skills.
• Rainbow Powers: Along the journey, we'll cast Awareness Spells, take Forest Breaths, perform Unicorn Dances, and discover the Rainbow Powers that live within each of us. These accessible activities introduce mindfulness, movement, and strategies to engage with emotions.
• The NEED Framework: A unique approach that invites readers to welcome their emotions, recognize the changes in their bodies and minds that reveal emotions may be visiting, sit with the feelings emotions bring, investigate why emotions may be visiting, and decide what to do with the information they provide.
• An Adventure for All Ages: Creatures of all ages can enjoy Into the Rainbow Forest. While ages and experiences will differ between families, we believe that, in general, young adventurers aged five and older may be able to engage with most of the Elder Scrolls alongside their Elders.
