About This Book

"Join the Emotions as they take you on a journey about feelings and moods and why they happen in our bodies. Sometimes you may feel angry, and sometimes you might feel happy but what matters most is that the way we feel is important"--Container

Our Review

This colorful board book introduces young children to the complex world of feelings through personified emotions that guide readers through different moods and bodily sensations. Using clear, accessible language, it helps preschoolers identify common emotional states like anger and happiness while explaining why these feelings occur in our bodies. The vibrant illustrations and simple narrative make abstract concepts concrete for developing minds, creating an engaging early introduction to emotional awareness and social-emotional learning. This foundational exploration of feelings provides valuable vocabulary for children beginning to understand their internal experiences.

What sets this emotional development book apart is its emphasis on validating all feelings as important, teaching emotional intelligence without judgment. The personified emotions create relatable characters that help children externalize and discuss their moods, making it particularly beneficial for children struggling with emotional regulation or communication. Parents will appreciate how this feelings book provides natural opportunities for conversations about daily emotional experiences, ultimately helping children build the self-awareness that supports healthy social development and emotional well-being.
