Tofunmi Yosola Deseret Magazine – How Naming Emotions Can Help Kids GrowTofunmi YosolaDeseret Magazine – How Naming Emotions Can Help Kids GrowEditorial illustration for July/August 2022 issue of Deseret Magazine, to accompany article on "How Naming Emotions Can Help Kids Grow". For use in printed magazine and online article.
