Book overview

A validating book about feeling sad. How are you feeling today? Children experience all kinds of feelings in a single day, but they can't always name them or talk about them easily. Developed in conjunction with a child psychologist, these board books focus on the six main emotions experienced by very young children. Featuring non-gendered characters and avoiding stereotypical associations of color and emotion, each book introduces the child to the feelings raised by one emotion. Coping strategies are discussed where necessary. Written with both neurodivergent and neurotypical readers in mind. This series of books can be used to develop emotional intelligence from a young age, as the emotions are labelled and relatable experiences are used to help young children make connections between their emotions and what might trigger them. Books in the Series - When I Feel Angry - When I Feel Happy - When I Feel Loved - When I Feel Sad - When I Feel Scared - When I Feel Surprised These books are perfect for developing empathy, resilience and a positive sense of self.
