Our hearts are full of feelings.
Big feelings and small feelings.
Loud feelings and quiet feelings.
Quick feelings and slow feelings.
“My heart is like a house, with all these feelings living inside.”
This book is a celebration of all the feelings. Designed with a cut out heart in the middle of each page, a little girl shares all her many feelings in colourful shapes like a star (happy), an explosion (mad), a balloon (calm), and many more.
Because the cut out heart pictures get smaller and smaller on each page, it draws the reader to get to the end where we are asked: How does your heart feel?
I recommend any book that teaches children (and adults) to share their feelings and to know that it’s okay to have them all.
Helps with: emotional development, learning about and identifying feelings, normalizing feelings, and respecting other people’s feelings.
