Feelings Are Not Facts: A Children's Book About Thoughts and Emotions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781067798864)

Feelings Are Not Facts is a gentle children's book about thoughts, emotions, and learning to understand what we feel.

Through simple language, thoughtful questions, and warm illustrations, children learn that feelings are real and important, but they do not always tell the whole story. A worried feeling does not always mean something bad will happen. A left-out feeling does not always mean nobody cares. An angry feeling does not always mean someone meant to hurt us.

This book helps children explore big emotions in an easy, age-appropriate way, including worry, fear, embarrassment, jealousy, anger, feeling left out, making guesses, checking what really happened, asking questions, and understanding that one hard moment is not the whole truth.

With "Think About It" questions throughout, Feelings Are Not Facts is a meaningful read-aloud for families, classrooms, counsellors, and educators who want to help children build emotional awareness, self-understanding, empathy, and confidence. It is also a book children can return to at different ages and stages, using the questions again over time as their understanding of their feelings and thoughts continues to grow.

Because feelings matter.

But they do not have to be in charge.
