My Feelings (Age 4+)

Naming a feeling is the first step towards managing it, and this picture book gives four-year-olds the words to start with. My Feelings introduces happiness, sadness, anger, worry and excitement through illustrated situations young children recognise, pairing each emotion with a face, a scene and a short line of text. The approach is gentle rather than instructive, leaving space for a child to point, compare and say what a particular day actually felt like. Booktopus Books designs the title for shared reading at home, at storytime and in early-years classrooms. Learning benefits: • Builds early emotional vocabulary one feeling at a time • Illustrated situations children meet in daily life • Prompts conversation between a child and an adult • Written for the four-plus reading level A helpful resource for parents, teachers and counsellors working with young children, available from Boipoka.
