RECOMMENDED Read Aloud - The Gray Rainbow

I was so excited when author, Kristy Hamby asked me if I wanted to preview her upcoming book The Gray Rainbow.  It is the perfect book to explain that some days are just gray.  She also spells gray with an “a,” which is an odd preference of mine--thanks Kristy! 

Anyway, this book is a great way to set students up for teaching the Zones of Regulation (if you’re unfamiliar click here!).  I always try to normalize the red, yellow, and blue zone and explain to students that it is unrealistic to live in the green zone.  This book is a great partner when teaching that its just fine if you’re not in the green zone, just don’t hang out there! Find something that brings you joy--or in this case, brings the color back in your rainbow.  You can follow Kristy’s social media and website for information about purchasing your own copy!
