"STAFF FAVE! Such a brilliant game for kids and family to enjoy. Not only does it teach our kid's emotional intelligence, communication, and compassion, it includes a guidebook that helps grown-ups and educators become better support systems for their kids."

"I really love this game. It was fun to play and I also like how it helps kids learn to express their own emotions."
"This game has a worthy and noble goal. Empathy and sympathy are sorely lacking sometimes in the real world and it would be great to see more of it being practiced. I think this game could be wonderful for younger students with social-emotional challenges in school. The art is charming and certainly enhances the theme."
