Before you buy
Use these three checks to choose by purpose, not only by the cover.
How it works
A child can complete the page from top to bottom, or start with the picture and add words afterward. An adult may read the labels aloud without supplying the child’s answer.

Page by page
Follow the printed order the first few times. Once the flow feels familiar, use the parts that are most useful that day.
Write the child’s name and look at the feeling characters together before the first entry.
Write the date in the roomy box. Any familiar date style is fine.
Circle the picture that matches the day: sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, hot, cold, or another listed choice.
Draw eyes and a mouth on the blank character, then write one feeling word on the line.
Draw the event, idea, person, place, or feeling first. Details can help the words come later.
Use the solid and dotted guides to write a label, one sentence, or several sentences at the child’s current level.
A simple routine
About 10-20 minutes. Stop when the useful thought is clear; completing every line is never the goal.
Begin with the picture, a word, a question, or the part of the day that feels easiest to remember.
Let drawing and writing support each other. The page does not have to be completed in one fixed order.
Add the date, then revisit older pages occasionally to notice how ideas and expression have grown.
Spelling and sentence length do not need to be perfect. Let the picture carry part of the story while writing confidence grows.
