American audiences won’t get to see Disney\/Pixar’s latest film Inside Out<\/em> <\/a>until June 19th, but the film recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The resulting outpouring<\/a> of affection<\/a> for the film <\/a>from critics and those lucky enough to view it hints to librarians that we may have another summer of children devoted to a specific movie on our hands!<\/p>\n

For those who haven’t yet seen the trailer<\/a>, Inside Out <\/em>takes an anthropomorphic look at our emotions. The protagonist, a pre-teen girl named Riley, experiences a personality shift when Joy and Sadness (voiced by Amy Poehler <\/a>and Phyllis from the Office<\/a>!) get trapped outside of Riley’s brain’s Command Center, leaving Fear, Anger, and Disgust to take over her personality (perhaps this happens to all teenagers?)<\/p>\n

At my library, we tend not to purchase books based on movies or tv shows. This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, and we’ve broken it many times before, but though they’ve been in my carts, I haven’t yet purchased any titles related to this upcoming movie. Instead, knowing ahead of time how popular we expect Inside Out<\/em> to be has allowed us to start to pull together a list of children’s picture books that deal with the same sort of emotions focused on in the film. Books like When Sophie Gets Angry – Really, Really Angry<\/a> <\/em>and Stuck with the Blooz <\/em><\/a>help children explore those conflicting emotions that it can be difficult to talk about, and as a great bonus, we already own them, so we don’t have to buy new books right at the end of our fiscal year!<\/p>\n

What are your favorite emotion books for kids? Are you ask excited about Inside Out<\/em> as I am?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
