Feelings, that's how I feel! (Usborne)

"Feelings – This Is How I Feel" is a sensitive children’s nonfiction book about emotions, body language, and mindful interaction. Sometimes happiness bubbles up through your belly like sunlight; other times, a day can feel heavy, angry, sad, or confusing. This book helps children better recognize and name these inner emotional states and notice them in others. Felicity Brooks and Frankie Allen explain in an age-appropriate way what feelings are, why everyone experiences them, and how they can show up on the face, in movements, or in the body. The colorful illustrations by Mar Ferrero bring everyday situations to life and invite readers to look closely together, ask questions, and talk about their feelings. Particularly valuable is the empowering focus on self-esteem and empathy: children learn that every feeling is valid and that there are ways to cope with them effectively. A heartwarming book for families, daycare centers, kindergartens, and educational settings that facilitates conversations about joy, fear, anger, sadness, and compassion.
