The Way I Feel

“Silly is the way I feel
when I make a funny face
and wear a goofy, poofy hat
that takes up lots of space.”

So begins a child’s romp through The Way I Feel, a delightful book that helps kids describe their emotions and understand that feelings are a normal part of life.

“Feelings come and feelings go.
I never know what they’ll be.
Silly or angry, happy or sad—
They’re all a part of me!”

Vivid, expressive illustrations fill every page with color, encouraging children to understand their emotions (and those of others). For parents and teachers, The Way I Feel provides a means of introducing both the concept of feelings and the vocabulary that helps children express their emotions with words.

“I’m frustrated because I can’t do it.
It’s hard and I want to cry
I don’t know whether to give it up
or to give it another try.”
