"Emotional Volcano" by Jomo Jesus Thomas is a children's picture book. This book discusses and teaches lessons on identifying and managing children's emotions. Sid and his sister Laura are the main characters who impact these emotional lessons. Their unique characteristics describe them as superheroes. Laura's superpowers enable her to find and identify emotions, while Sid allows him to transform emotions from one state to the next; for example, Sid can transform emotions from fear into joy and anger into calm. 
 
The two superheroes, Sid and Laura, check their Emotion Map Touchscreen to locate the hotspots using the Solar Enterprise's GPS. They located a hotspot in a nearby village. They land their spaceship there to find out if they can help the children. Sid lifts his hands to call the children to order, but the kids stomp around, throw their books on the ground, and grumble as the volcanoes erupt. 
What did Sid and Laura do? Did the volcanoes calm down after beginning to erupt? Go through the book carefully to find out what Laura and Sid did and how the volcanoes behaved.
 
I found this book exciting and interesting. I loved how Laura and Sid handled the situation when the volcanoes began to erupt. This book teaches children valuable lessons about mastering and managing emotions. This helps children enhance their emotional intelligence.
 
I did not meet any instances that could turn me off. This is a very brief book that teaches lessons effectively. It has also perfectly incorporated eye-catching pictures. 
 
I give this book a 5 out of 5 star rating. It was professionally and flawlessly edited. The editor eliminated all grammar and typo errors. This book is exciting, and children will indeed like it. It is outstanding, as the pictures used were perfectly crafted. I recommend this book to children aged 3–7 years. Children who read this book will learn about identifying and managing emotions. I loved reading this book.

Emotional intelligence is a valuable skill to have in our personal toolbox. Developing this skill early on in life will help children navigate the school world and, later on, the work world. I appreciate how the author gave Laura superpowers to identify emotions and Sid, superpowers to change emotions. Their examples of using these skills will help children to practice these skills. Great review! :techie-studyinggray:
