About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is experiencing overwhelming physical reactions to their emotions, such as tensed muscles during a tantrum or wide eyes during a scare. While many books focus on naming feelings, Dr. Orlena Kerek goes a step further by helping children connect their internal physical sensations to the vocabulary of emotion. It serves as a practical toolkit for kids who are just starting to realize that their bodies and minds are connected. This board book covers six core emotions: fear, anger, joy, sadness, disgust, and surprise. Using age-appropriate language and vibrant illustrations, it explains not just what a feeling is called, but what it looks like on a face and how it feels inside the body. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to move beyond simple 'happy/sad' binaries and begin building a robust emotional vocabulary for children aged one to three.
