A real letter written on paper with a pen or pencil (or even illustrated!) seems like a thing of the past, but that feeling of getting a note of love in the mail is unlike any other! Sharing our lives with others by writing down daily snippets or full length 'marathon letters' that take pages and pages, and sending it through the mail is a practice that the characters in these books use to great results and one that we all might consider adding to our lives as well. Inspired by the #AtHomeArtStudio's postal art this week, the booksellers from The Carle Bookshop are sharing a few of their favorite picture books about letter-writing.

The educators and booksellers at The Carle have put together our most recommended picture books for identifying and navigating emotions.
