“A Little SPOT Learns Kind Words” by Diane Alber has been extremely helpful in providing language to emotions in a way my toddler can understand. It’s even helped describe my own emotions better, and it’s helped my daughter practice ways to get her “angry spot” down by breathing. I highly recommend this book.

“Hands Can” by Cheryl Willis Hudson, is a pretty straightforward focus on what hands can do, and not so much on what they shouldn’t do (like hit).

“Little Dinos Don’t Bite” by Michael Dahl was a helpful reference, through the frame of a dinosaur, what is and isn’t ok to bite. Somehow that’s not so obvious to a toddler, but we’re getting there!

“Potty” by Leslie Patricelli, was a great beginning book to get our daughter to begin thinking about, and get excited about, going on the potty.
