About This Book

A boy uses body clues to identify feelings like curiosity, boredom, and confusion, learning what to do when feelings are overwhelming. Part of the We Find Feelings Clues series.

Our Review

This engaging picture book helps young children develop emotional awareness by exploring how feelings manifest in their bodies. A relatable boy character notices physical sensations like a wiggly body when curious or a heavy head when bored, giving preschoolers concrete ways to recognize their emotions. The story thoughtfully addresses what happens when feelings become overwhelming, providing gentle guidance for emotional regulation. This approach makes abstract concepts accessible through tangible body clues that children can easily identify in their own experiences.

What sets this emotional learning book apart is its practical focus on physical sensations rather than abstract emotional labels, making it particularly valuable for children who struggle to articulate their feelings. The narrative normalizes the full spectrum of emotions while teaching constructive coping strategies for when feelings intensify. Parents seeking social-emotional learning resources will appreciate how this story creates natural opportunities for discussing emotional intelligence and self-regulation. The book's gentle approach to feelings education makes it an excellent tool for building emotional vocabulary and developing healthy emotional habits from an early age.
