BIG FEELINGS CAN TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY. HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY?

Like a COURAGEOUS bear feeling fearless climbing up a tall tree, an ANGRY bee feeling agitated in the garden or a TIRED puppy feeling sleepy snoozing on a blanket. You can explore twenty-eight creatures that depict various emotions and feelings.

When I am Feeling is a book that explores emotions and feelings with the clever use of animal characters and their attributes. Happiness, Courage, Anger, Exhaustion, Love, Sadness and Fear are each represented by four different feelings.

The visually rich, colourful images of these animals and landscapes capture the essence of the emotions and feelings explored. The text and illustrations are relatable to all learners including, visual learners such as children on the Autism Spectrum.

When I am Feeling encourages conversations and discussions with children and adults about the many feelings they experience throughout the day and life. As an educational tool the language is simple, direct and affirming.

When I am Feeling provides the opportunity to explore and explain that emotions or messages children get from their bodies are connected with their feelings. Feelings whether positive or negative are all ok to experience and can manifest in different ways. These explorations and conversations can teach children how to work on being proactive in responding to their emotions instead of reactive.

When I am Feeling is a terrific social-emotional tool for children, adults, educators and therapists.
