About This Book

Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing big, nameless emotions but lacks the vocabulary to describe them. It is the perfect tool for those moments when a child is transitioning from reactive tantrums to active communication. By turning the identification of feelings into a rhythmic, interactive game, it lowers the stakes of emotional expression and makes learning about the self feel like play. The book utilizes a call and response format where the parent reads a prompt and the child guesses the feeling hidden under a lift the flap. With bold, graphic illustrations and a focus on repetition, it covers a range of basic human emotions from joy to fear. It is ideal for children aged 1 to 4 who are developing their social emotional foundations and need a cheerful, low pressure way to normalize everything they are feeling inside.
