Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Camila's Changing Shells of Feelings
Kristina Viola RD · 2025
65/100
👎 Skip It
The hermit crab metaphor for shifting emotions is genuinely clever and the SEL intent is clear and worthwhile. Published in late 2025, though, there is simply no critical record to lean on — no reviews, no classroom feedback, nothing to confirm the execution matches the concept. Worth revisiting once it has had time to be read and reviewed.
