This classic picture book from beloved author-illustrator Aliki is a great way to explore feelings with younger kids, whether at home or in the classroom. Happy, sad, shy, excited--how do you feel? No matter the emotion, Feelings explores it--and helps children understand and express their own feelings.
Best-selling author Aliki uses a child-friendly cartoon style to build empathy and awareness in young readers--and to help them find appropriate ways to handle their feelings. Short, funny comics show how children might feel in different situations--at a birthday party, when a beloved pet dies, on the first day of school, and more.
A timeless classic ideal for sharing.

My mother brought Feelings home for me when I was really young. I brought the book with me to college. I still read it sometimes when I feel like laughing, crying, screaming...and all the other things this wonderful book makes you do.

My husband bought this for our son, who is three. It has been his favorite book for several weeks now. The book is separated into smaller stories and we read one or two at night before going to bed. It's been a wonderful tool to use to help teach our son about his feelings, about others' feelings.

I received Feelings when I was about five years old. That was twelve years ago and I still read it when I am feeling down and need a boost.
