What reviewers said

"Excellent resource to introduce the concept of feelings to your young child! Adorable illustrations that include images of children and families of all skin colors. Peppered throughout the text are thoughtful questions that parents can ask kids as they read. Highly recommend." —Dr. Tara Egan, D.Ed., child and adolescent therapist, author, public speaker, and podcast host
"Building children's emotional intelligence at a young age is so important. This book is an effective, practical tool for parents to use to foster connection and teach children how to recognize and talk about their emotions."
Rachel Bailey, parenting specialist
"As a school psychologist, I used bibliotherapy with my students every day. Books are a great tool to teach kids important social and emotional skills, and I love what Dr. Orlena Kerek came up with. Her book for toddlers does an excellent job of accurately describing feelings in kid-friendly terms. Through the pages, kids will learn what anger, frustration, and happiness feel like in their bodies and minds. This will be a great tool for parents and teachers to build their children's emotional intelligence!"
Lauren Gaines, author and adjunct professor of psychology
