The Feelings Book

Product Information

I'm super critical of contemporary romances, so when I say I LOVE this book, you better believe I mean it! I started reading at 7 pm on a Saturday night and finished at midnight. But instead of going to bed like a normal person, my brain was so full of serotonin that I couldn't help but stayed awake and replay the story in my head for hours! Picture books and the discussions you have when reading them help kids learn about feelings, help children identify their emotions, help children understand what each emotion feels like, and support a child’s understanding that allfeelings are okay. CASEL defines Social-Emotional Learning(SEL) as acquiring “ the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” The When I’m Feeling series includes books exploring a range of emotions – angry, jealous, kind, scared, lonely and loved, and they are one of my favourite resources for introducing children to emotions and strategies for expressing our feelings in ways that are appropriate and acceptable to ourselves and others.

also, ever since Cade Eaton (Heartless), i keep comparing older, single dad heroes to him. the H of this book didnt even come close. i mean, hes a sweetheart. consent is sexy and all. but sometimes i wish he’d been bolder, more forward, and spontaneous with his love language (physical touch/affection) without overthinking the h’s reaction or how it was going to be received. on another note, what happened with the “fake dating for PR stunt” plot?? i feel like it was just a plot device and not an actual plotline? i thought the third act conflict would have smth to do with it—it didnt. i understood the h’s anger, but i also feel like she overreacted. im glad they didnt blow it out of proportion and was able to sort it out like the mature, adult they were. Try to walk in someone's shoes to see how they might feel. For though you cannot see them, feelings are still strong and real”. The Feelings Book will explain to kids that their feelings will always change, and that’s ok. Sometimes they will feel like dressing up, and sometimes they will feel like crying or camping with the dog, and sometimes they will feel like doing nothing at all. Your kids need to learn that they should share their feelings no matter how they feel. The emotions listed in this book are really silly, and the art style is bold and colorful, so younger children will love reading this book. There are many different types of quiet and this book is perfect for inviting discovery and discussion with children about the emotions behind each of the different kinds of quiet – be it nervousness, excitement, concern or silent awe. This truly is a lovely book. This book talks about times when things are scary and times when those same things are not—“ Sometimes I’m scared of dogs // I’m not scared when they give me kisses.” Parr shows how it’s okay to feel scared as well as shifting the perspective to see things in a new way.The romance is beautiful with so much tension! I'm not a huge fan of friends to lovers, but this one really was perfect. I love that they were only friends for a few years and decided (on their own) to keep things professional. Because during that time, these two were able to develop a deep love and respect for one another. Playful illustrations and lyrical text capture the little girl’s feelings throughout the day…angry, silly, grumpy, and excited. This story expertly shows a relatable kid day filled with all sorts of emotions, or moods.

Some of the books might be problematic because:

CASEL identified five specific social emotional learning competencies for children, which are the following Everyone is different and their feelings aren`t the same and what you feel is who you are you, it`s something you must claim. This book was not only hilarious and witty and fun, but the emotional maturity of the characters was just so refreshing. It was so wonderful to read a love story about people who get awkward and giddy and start overthinking things but then communicate their feelings. I kept thinking there would be some big blow up or miscommunication, but there really wasn’t. Discover the best SEL (social emotional learning) picture booksabout feelings and emotions.

Towards 50-60% it started reading like a summary, like all of the important stuff that this slow burn has been building towards was just glossed over. Only to rush to a third act break up and then you blink and it's the epilogue.
