Our Review

This engaging board book offers a gentle introduction to emotional awareness, guiding young children through recognizable feelings like happiness, sadness, and frustration with clear, relatable illustrations. Dr. Kerek, a pediatrician, brings her expertise to the pages, presenting each emotion in simple, concrete terms that a toddler can understand and connect to their own experiences. The book provides a foundational vocabulary for feelings, helping little ones begin to name what they feel inside. It’s a wonderful first step in social-emotional learning for the very young.

What sets this emotional learning tool apart is its focus on practical recognition; children see characters experiencing emotions in everyday scenarios they know well. Parents seeking to build their child's emotional intelligence will find it a supportive resource for starting conversations about feelings and empathy. The sturdy board book format is perfectly suited for small hands, making this a durable companion for exploring the big world of feelings together.
